2001 Kawasaki KLR650 review from United Kingdom
"Boring, heavy and soulless"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing went wrong.
General comments?
It did everything OK, but after big engined bikes it was boring - too slow. Nearly put me off bikes - a Buell brought me back to my senses
