KLR or klr may refer to:
A dual-sport motorcycle is a type of street-legal motorcycle that is designed for both on and off-road use. The terms all-road and dual-purpose are also used for this class of motorcycles. Dual-sports are equipped with street-legal equipment such as lights, speedometer, mirrors, horn, license plate mounting, and muffler and can, therefore, be registered and licensed.
The concept of a versatile motorcycle equally at home on dirt and pavement is as old as motorcycling itself. Most roads were still unpaved when motorized bicycles first appeared around 1900. In a sense, all motorcycles at that time were dual-sports, intended to be used on dirt as well as pavement. Advertisements well into the 1920s depict motorcycles on dirt roads, raising clouds of dust. By 1940, most roads in developed countries were paved and motorcycles had become heavier and more oriented to the street. In the 1950s and 1960s British manufacturers such as Triumph and BSA offered versions of their relatively light street motorcycles with high exhaust pipes, and called them scramblers.
The Kawasaki KLR650 is a dual-sport motorcycle intended for use on both paved and unpaved roads. It has been a long-standing model in Kawasaki's lineup, having been introduced in 1987 and remaining almost unchanged through the 2007 model. The 2008 model was the first significant redesign of the KLR650 since its inception. It has a 650 cc four-stroke, DOHC, dual-counterbalanced, single-cylinder, water-cooled engine.
The KLR is widely used as an inexpensive adventure/touring bike. The addition of luggage and personalized modifications (GPS, heated handgrips, larger windscreens) make it more functional on long trips. Bikes have been used for long distance and intercontinental trips, as well as full global circumnavigation rides e.g., by Dr. Gregory Frazier in 2001 and 2002.

The Kawasaki KLR 650 has a huge and extremely loyal fanbase, but there's no denying that it's not the greatest motorcycle in the world... on paper. Because of it's massive following, it gets a lot of over-hyped press for better or worse. Let's call it what it is... a motorcycle that while far from perfect, has had the single largest impact on adventure riding (and therefore the fun and enjoyment that people have found through dual sporting and enduro) in the world. Here's to the Kawasaki KLR 650, and every other wonderful motorcycle that has inspired every-day people to get out there and LIVE! Love Adventure?

Oman Episode 4 Starting the new year the right way . Waking up in the middle of the mountains, after camping under a million stars! Ready to tackle one of the most challenging roads in Oman. The pass through wadi Bani Auf, that connects Rustaq to Nizwa. These were the most challenging and difficult roads I've ever attempted. Incredibly steep ascends /descends paired with hairpin turns and soft silty sand. At one point I thought I was going to go over the side of a cliff ! I was very nervous, especially being by myself, but I was up for the challenge ! Being on a borrowed KLR 650 I was unable to have it lowered or have proper luggage panniers on it so it made it even more difficult, but, I wouldn't let that stop me having the most epic trip ever. Challenging my mind and body an...

Sorry, but lying and posting up in subliminal text will never get Passed,
We clearly can see your more ass than 100 pages of the Playboy Mag.
But that's irrelevant, I could just post a few bars that question Intelligence,
'cause your mind is absent of good flow like Black children and Negligence,
And this is the Contestant, A Newbie, Gran Thef trying get a Reference,
You in the Mix with Killer but this shit don't help fags with a Sexual preference,
This is only development, shedding the extra weight like dietary supplements,
Like when Killer and Hitler murdered Mil.s when we controlled the Nazis Government,
Gran Thef, no petty thef, your inferior, could not steal a caravan with that Criteria,
You could hold hostage a Morgue and fail at capturing cases of Malaria,
I see a pussy, Damn tasty and eatable, no lie I enjoy the Aroma,
Nobody matched my persona, I got crazy prices, get you half off a rental Coma...
Or the specialty for Gran Thef, a Flight Jacket with a reversal zip up Body Bag...
A John Doe tag, and a mummified pipe broken off in his Ass,
If it happens that me Killer happens to win this battle, prepare for Violence,
'cause the whole forum will join forces against me Killer vs the Gay Alliance,
Gran thef is all glory, with his fabricated stories, I depicted he's not Villain,
Go head a lose your mind, you ain't crazy just a little hazy from popping P enicillin,
Fuck you and your momz, but mostly your moms and her salivary Glands,
I swear she could suck my ribs in deeper than Hostages of murderous Afghans,
I have a poisonus flow, part Phython, have you tembling sweating in your Nylon,
Your a Superbitch, just one touch of the Kryton, will have this Kid Bloodier than a Tampon.
