New Kawasaki Enduro KLR 650 for America

KLR 650 back in America
Kawasaki has made the old 650 stew fit again for the market in North America and built a new KLR 650 around it. Unfortunately no KLR based on Versys and not for Europe either.

There was definitely a lot of anticipation here and there for a KLR 650 with the 650 twin from the Versys. Quasi a Tenere of Kawasaki And it was hoped that it would be presented today for the North American market with a strong affinity for off-roading, so that it could soon also cross the Atlantic. Nothing.
New KLR 650 only for America
Kawasaki America
Kawasaki does not offer the new KLR 650 for Europe and is clearly aimed at the North American markets of the USA and Canada. Euro 5 is not an issue there, so the old, new 650 single can play again. It gets a new injection and a new exhaust system. This gives it 52 Nm of torque from 652 cubic meters. At least 5 Nm more than it was allowed to have in its last Euro 3 compliant version. A maximum performance is not specified.
Kawasaki USA
In the USA, the new KLR 650 comes optionally with ABS and in two versions: the Traveler with a topcase and the Adventure with side cases, crash bars and camouflage paintwork. Both have ABS as standard. Prices in the US start at $ 6,699 for the version without and $ 6,999 with ABS. The Traveler costs $ 7,399 and the Adventure costs a hefty $ 7,999.
Why not a KLR with twin?
Kawasaki America
The new edition of the single-cylinder KLR just across the Atlantic is clearly a result of the strict emission standards in Europe. With us, the Euro 5 engine simply wouldn’t work. The question of a new KLR with the 650 twin from Versys in order to occupy the market segment of light enduros around KTM and Yamaha cannot be answered satisfactorily enough for Japan from Germany with possible quantities. Here Kawasaki first has to serve the markets, which can lose a lot. In America in this case with an old stew. We just remain optimistic about Europe.
Conclusion
It runs very well in Europe for Kawasaki even without a modern KLR. The Nakedbike Z 900 and Z 650 have been generating good numbers for years, so the portfolio of the smallest Japanese giant does not have to be unnecessarily inflated with bikes that only enthusiasts would find good.
