KLR650 Adventure
The KLR650 Adventure is the pickup truck of the ADV world — a 652cc single-cylinder with legendary long-term reliability, an enormous aftermarket, and a 6.1-gallon fuel tank at a sub-$8,200 new price. The 5-speed gearbox creates a noticeable buzz at modern highway speeds, but no other affordable ADV matches the KLR's parts availability, owner community, and proven 30-year platform.
