Kawasaki recently unveiled its 2022 model KLR 650 sport touring motorcycle and announced several notable improvements designed improve the motorcycle’s reliability and convenience on and off the road. At the top of the list is the new fuel injection system for the 652-cc single-cylinder engine, all-new disc brakes with optional ABS (anti-lock braking system), and all-digital, multi-function instrumentation. Models options for 2022 include the KLR 650 ABS (MSRP $6,999 with ABS, $6,699 without ABS), the KLR 650 Traveler (MSRP $7,399), and the KLR 650 Adventure (MSRP $7,999).
