I was curious just how fast the new 2022 Kawaski KLR would go, so I did a speed test on a desolate highway in Nevada to find out. Thanks for watching! #klr #topspeed
A long time ago my dad told me that direction is more important than speed ,cause you can go fast in the wrong direction .Nimbleness is a far greater asset . I'm still not sure if he was talking about motorcycles or life . But it holds true for both.Cheers my friend .
I’ve done 95 on my ‘22 KLR with nothing added except what comes on the adventure model with the bags off, windscreen in the lower position and I was tucked and close to the tank, she might have had a bit more in her but I ran up on a statie. Good to know it will still move pretty well with gear. Great footage, stay save out there
Got my stock 22 adv to 99 mph!. slight down hill on freeway, windsheild in high position... I'm 250 lbs. and had full loaded saddle bags and packed rear top bag!..
Nicely done sir, it is nice to know it will go way faster than I ever plan to ride it hahah Good stuff, thanks for sharing and keep up the fun videos. Dale
Yeah but let's be real, in a 80 mph zone, everyone is doing 85 mph minimum. Also you don't want to be driving for extended periods of time with the engine completely wrapped out. 85 mph would be a nice cruise speed if the bike could do 105 top speed.
I have no bags on mine, am 6"2" and weight of 220. I had my 2022 KLR 650 to 91 today on flat ground with throttle left to go. No idea how fast it would go full out, will test that soon. With the wind drag of bags and extra weight, 88 is pretty damn good, considering what the bike is meant for.
My first bike was a 95 klr 650 which I bought from a friend. Once when testing its top speed I ended up getting to 110 mph. At that point the front end started to shake violently/ lose stability and I had to let off. But yeah...110mph indicated. It was absolutely screaming.
Sure miss my Old bike the KLR 500 (Not KLE 500).. looked around in CZcams and decided to check out this page, I'm 6ft (183cm) & back then when my weight was 98kgs (216lbs) easily did 105mph (170km/h) on RON98 fuel. I suppose the new generation bike has some kind of digital speed limiter? I was easily doing 0-100km/h in under 5.5 seconds, not sure why some reviews I've read said the bike has bad Torque in low RPMs? Mine felt just fine. Always maintained my bike tip top condition, Eventually changed to a Sports bike (Honda CBR 600F2). Whoa... I was doing 250km/h on that without even maxing out the throttle. Sadly, Bike got stolen! Now getting old & relocated to another country... life is precious, I'm just riding a 200cc moped hahaha. There is no road to run here & National speed limit is 90 km/h. Always stay safe Brudders!
I have a 2022 KLR650 Adventure set up with the top box also and weigh 260 pounds. Same results for indicated top speed. However using GPS on garmin zumo and at same time on iPhone XR shows a 7% error on Kawasaki's speedometer at most speeds so 88 is actually about 82 mph.
Watched as much of a prostate ad as I could full watch of end ads! lol full watch of your video too!Like 17! You be careful on that demon! 88 mph! Come vote for me JP! Come visit I need your help! Bring some friends👍🏻😃❤️🦊
Thanks for this video it probably made my decision to get a klr. It looks like it can do well NYC To DC no problem. The speed limit on I95 is 65mph so 88mph is great. Plus I'm only 150lbs so I should make it to at least 90mph.
Thanks for sharing. Looks like you also had a top box? Those bags are like strapping on bricks. Even more powerful bikes will need a lot of power to overcome the aerodynamic drag. Do it again without the bags and the top box. Inquiry minds want to know. You're in SoCal so doing 90+ shouldn't get you in trouble out there in the desert where everyone cruises at least 85!
Good point! I will have to give it another go! Not in Cali but rather in Nevada..speed limit is 80, so I'm not flirting with trouble too badly. Thanks for the suggestions!
My last two sport bikes would do 150 mph according to the specs but maybe I got them up to around 90mph once or twice. Blue lights makes me break out in a rash.
@@JP1970 I have a 2022 Aventure. My days of going fast with my hair on fire are over. It's about quality not quanity and the KLR is the best bike I have owned.
My first bike was a 95 klr 650 which I bought from a friend. Once when testing its top speed I ended up getting to 110 mph. At that point the front end started to shake violently/ lose stability and I had to let off. But yeah...110mph indicated.
The gen1 was definitely faster. 100mph without much effort. I wonder if the new ones are electronically limited? Not that you’d want to go that fast, anything over 75 was very unpleasant with the excessive vibrations.
and the lack of power is the reason I'm having a hard time buying this bike. Ughh! but the other part of me says I don't need all that power I'll have a great bike at a good price and I'll be glad I bought it!
At sea level with Lexx exhaust, JD Jetting EFI controller and Swiss cheese air box, I was able to get the 1 in front of the tens place to light up on my ‘22 KLR. I may have had a tailwind though lol. She’s definitely a bit of a turd in the horsepower department but that’s not why I bought it. If I want to go fast, I’ll ride my old 929RR.
Nicely done, Rob! Wow, that is impressive. I had fun with my KLR while I owned it, but I traded it for a Ducati Scrambler...not perfect, but better for my short legs. Thanks and again--good job man!
88mph is around 145kph, my 2014 klr650 did 170kph with only the box mod and staintune exhaust and now it does 195kph with a mikuni carb and stage 2 cams and im hoping to get 240kph+ when i get a big bore kit,rejetting and a little head work and also a hd clutch if needed
This really looks like Battle-mountain Nevada! With I-80 at 80mph now between battlemountain and Golconda summit, how does the bike fair? Seem pretty comfy at them speeds or do you ride a little slower?
That's the spot, man! I live in Elko and we were taking I-80 back from Battle Mountain. The bike is a blast to ride. I did this video when I first got it. I mostly keep the speeds down and stick to trails, but I wanted to know what it would do. I won't be riding it to Reno any time soon, but I could if I wanted to--it will do it. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@JP1970 Thanks for responding so soon, I was thinking of upgrading from my KLX300 just so I could travel further and see places I’ve always wanted to go. I live in Winnemucca and ride almost everyday but the KLX300 doesn’t have the power in the wind to go above 65mph and I get tossed around like a wet noodle!
@@xmr9475 oh I bet you do! Yeah, there are pros and cons, but I love having the KLR…second bike to my 2018 Gold Wing, when I really want to crush some miles!
At 80+ miles an hour how smooth is it? Max speed is one thing but the important part is how it can push through a headwind on the open road. As long as it can maintain 65 mph in a headwind that's really what's important
Well, it wasn’t like riding a Gold Wing smooth, but it felt exhilarating! I Don not think I would want to be riding 70 in a headwind on a KLR…it is fine for a short run, but there are better choices. Thanks for watching Allan S! 😀👽
Well, I would say it is fine riding it along about 75, but I think the bike cruises better about 60-65. Yes, it feels a bit buzzy. Thanks for stopping by.
Not to Harsh your mellow but a 2022 Honda 300 Rally with a 286cc water cooled motor will do 84mph and My 2012 with a KLX kit in the carb will do over 90 at sea level but that does have a 16 tooth front sprocket and I'm only 215lbs
I'll be taking a trip out in Death Valley in a few weeks. The altitude is below sea level so lots of oxygen, I'm 170 and I'll skin off all the baggage and let you know. I'm predicting 95.
@@JP1970 I think bigfoot is more real than the Tenere 700, called my shop they have a list I could be 34th on with A $500 deposit, maybe they could have one for me in two years. Yamaha says the things are $10,299, the shop said last one they sold (with no extras) was $13,600 out the door.
Good tip, but I got rid of the KLR after about 6 months... It was alright, but I bought a Ducati Scrambler 800. That KLR was too tall for me. Thanks for stopping by Timothy.
It would be interesting to know the top speed for day long comfort. Also, the KLR speedometer shows speeds about 5mph too high at those speeds. Ie, 88mph is probably 82mph. It seems that it is still appropriate to adjust gearing on the KLR according to use; ie, go to a 14t if more off-road, a 16t if more on-road, or keep the 15t if 50/50. Probably should match the type of tires you use.
Oh heck yeah...good idea...I find the bike like to cruise best between 65-74 down the freeway. I have no pland right now of changing the gearing. Seems fine. I appreciate you telling me about the speedo.
I guess I'm kind of a chicken, but 88 is faster than I'd ever want to go on a bike with that geometry. (And I'm trying to get my local dealer to order me a KLR in Adventure trim.)
Yeah, that is pretty fast on that type of bike-I hope you order one with abs brakes. I wrecked mine going about 40mph, and I think abs would have made the difference.
Hahahaha--oh, man, well, you are probably right, but the speed limit is 80mph along the highway up here, so I figured I wouldn't be getting a ticket. That would have been an interesting way to end the video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@JP1970 yeah maybe. I just want to know really how hard the bike is working at like 80 to 85. I still can't find out where red line is and how much the bike is working at that speed.
Ridiculous slow.. the 650 XR Honda will blow to 120 easy . More off road capable in every way. It would walk away from this KLR in trails and on open roads it would be embarrassing

Awesome video!! I had a FJR that I feel like could do 88 in 1st gear but I'm finding I love the KLR just a little bit more!! :)
I hear you--I have definitely had faster bikes, but the KLR is a special kind of bike. I love it!
All you need is 88. Top speed limit in U.S. is 80 and that extra 8 mph can be used for passing. Majority of the speed limits top out at 70 mph.
You make some good points. Thanks!
Yeah but let's be real, in a 80 mph zone, everyone is doing 85 mph minimum. Also you don't want to be driving for extended periods of time with the engine completely wrapped out. 85 mph would be a nice cruise speed if the bike could do 105 top speed.

Hahahaha--oh, man, well, you are probably right, but the speed limit is 80mph along the highway up here, so I figured I wouldn't be getting a ticket. That would have been an interesting way to end the video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
pretty fast tractor I can only got 30mph on mine
@@je7647 I only owned it for about 6 months…not for me. Thanks for stopping by. 😎
@@JP1970 power weight ratio too much for me
too little*
@@je7647 10-4…plenty of folks love them, and I’m glad I hav e it a try. I prefer a bit more responsive throttle.
85 to 90 mph
That’s moving! Good work! 😀😀
my KLR go's fast enough.
Fair enough! 👍
88 speedometer = 80 in a gps very very slow
That's for sure. Thanks buddy!
I've gone 93 on mine
Killer man--I think my speedo is off. My buddy saud he was doing like 91-92, and he was right with me. Thanks man!
@@JP1970 yeah maybe. I just want to know really how hard the bike is working at like 80 to 85. I still can't find out where red line is and how much the bike is working at that speed.
Plenty fast enough imo 👍😊
I think so too! Thanks!
Ridiculous slow.. the 650 XR Honda will blow to 120 easy . More off road capable in every way. It would walk away from this KLR in trails and on open roads it would be embarrassing
I know a lot of folks love them, and I can understand why, but it wasn't for me. Thanks!
🤗 P*R*O*M*O*S*M!!
Thank you very much!
