KLR650 is a gravel roader/street bike, no more no less.
I always assumed those bikes were for actual offroading. If I can take a sports car down it, it's nowhere near offroading. Gravel roads are just normal roads to me. I mean, I try to avoid them due to lower traction but they're not really a big deal.I can't tell if you're serious or trolling. So many people do things on bikes that they weren't meant to do...

Then again, I grew up in the country and every third road is gravel.
Keep hearing from different folks, some say KLR is a dual sport, some say its an adventure bike...so which is it?
If I wanted to be a 70/30 rider or 60/40 (road/dirt) would i be better off with the KLR or a traditional dual sport?
Muchas gracias
Buy it. Ride it whichever way you like. Who cares what others say.
Sorry. The KLR is not a dirt bike. It is designed for people who like gravel roads only. That should get this thread going.WHOA, WHOA WHOA!!!!!!! Slow down there sport.
This is the internet you know; where validation (or ridicule) is just a click away for every thought, notion, opinion or half*** idea.
What you're proposing could lead to nothing more than an exchange of intelligent discourse and the sharing of information, which could lead to the end of group-think altogether.
Then were would we be?
Neither is your cb500x or my versys but that never stopped us!Sorry. The KLR is not a dirt bike. It is designed for people who like gravel roads only. That should get this thread going.
