2007 Kawasaki KLR650

General:

Bikes like this are getting harder and harder to find in this condition. 5300 original miles. This dual-sport does not appear that it has ever been seriously ridden on the trail. The liquid-cooled 651cc engine and slick -shifting, five speed gearbox are an absolute joy to ride on both roads and trails. The suspension is firm and works well for trail riding and is plentry comfortable for an hour or two on the freeway. The disk brakes are well-modulated and powerful. The handling is quick without being "twitchy" . This bike would make a great and reasonably priced one-up, adventure-riding mount. I wish I could keep this motorcycle for myself; I fear I may never come across such a clean and well-maintained specimen of this great model again.

Mechanical Condition:

This bike is exceptionally good mechanical condition. It starts easily and and runs flawlessly throughout its powerband. It has a new dual-sport tire on the rear and the front tire has plenty of life left in it. The chain and sprockets look in good shape. I would happily and confidently take this bike on a multi-state, backroad ride tomorrow, if I had the opportunity. The exhaust is stock and the carburetor has its original jetting. All lights, instruments and controls work as they should.

Cosmetic Condition:

As you can see from the photos, the bike is also in exceptional cosmetic condition. It shows no evidence of ever having been ridden hard in the dirt, or for that matter, ever having been left outside overnight. The deep red and silver paint looks great with only one flawed area; the lower-front edge of the left side of the tank has been chipped and lightly scuffed. It is noticeable only if you look closely for it; See attached photo. This and the aftermarket turn signals suggest a low speed drop at some time. The factory, color-matched sport fairing doesn't provide much weather protection, but it does enhance the bikes riding comfort at speed on the highway, by directing the wind blast over the rider's torso when sitting without sacrificing forward vision. A small color-matched fiberglass trunk which mounts on the luggage rack is included with the bike. See attached photo which shows trunk placed in position, but not secured on the KLR.

Whether you are a novice dual sport rider or an an experienced adventure bike rider, the KLR650 for sale here will make an excellent and reliable mount, that you will not quickly tire of. It will make a great commuter and weekend ride bike and is plenty comfortable for the occasional tour on or off paved road. This is a great bike for a very reasonable price.  $2950.00
