- My Legendary Kawasaki KLR was my first adventure motorcycle, my first foray into the dual sport world. I love it. I'll miss it. I'll never forget the amazing adventures I had on it... but I'm happy to give it to an amazing guy who is just starting his own adventures!

You're the reason I bought a KLR......never regreted it. They are great bikes! Thanks for your insights.
Inexpensive, fun, all purpose motorcycles... I love the KLR!
Awwwww..... good bye ol' friend..... we had some good times didnt we?? Remember when ...... *drifts off into distant memories with the little boy grin on his face........*
Its no joke, is it..... How we can connect like that. If I came across my old ZJ in a parking lot, I might tear up a bit.
Man remember when you fired it up on camera when you rebuilt it? Remember how excellent the suspension was (and still is) since you put those springs in? So many good times man!
Sold my KLR to my friend last year. And now I'm a few weeks away from having another one in my garage. I love the KLR, and it will always have a special place in my heart
This channel was the reason I got a KLR. Traded mine away but I still miss the old tractor.
i dont get emotional but when i do its about a motorcycle.
They're pretty powerful symbols of great memories!
Damn you eveRide and your video making skills... you're making me sentimental about your bike, sheesh.
Every time I see a KLR ride by I miss my KLR. I love my BMW but there is something special about a KLR. They are great bikes.
I think they're special because since their cheap, they're many people's first adventure/dual sport bikes. That means they have a lot of sentiment behind them!
Reminds me of my old hunk of junk 99 ttr 225. The day I got it was the best day of my life. This vid sends me back to what I've done on it and where I've been. It was a tank at 300lbs for a little 13yr old 130lb kid. Had it for 15 yrs and never thought I'd ever get rid of it... Til my little 2nd cousin wanted to get into riding. I thought she'd get more use and what's wrong with bringing another person into the glory of riding? Won't lie, I teared up a little as her father and me put it onto his truck and made sure to tell her how special it was. Now I get video upon video of her having a blast and it puts a smile on my face. She loves the old beauty and I never second guessed where she belonged.
the perfect way to say goodbye to a a fine steed!
The KLR is why I started watching Everide many years ago. And one of the reasons I bought one. 🤟🏻
Thumb up from France. How Lucky you are to have such great open spaces to ride. Europe has great landscapes and tracks but can not compare.
Here in Spain we can not enjoy a KLR unfortunately, but thanks to people like you, Tyler, we can feel like we have one. Thanks for all those moments.
About to experience my first KAWASAKI KLR650, 1993, which I've rebuilt and revived. I'm still scared of it, but I can't wait to ride it. THANK YOU for your ENTHUSIASM. After I watched this video I was intimidated to ride. I WILL CONQUER THIS MOTORCYCLE...I WILL RIDE...
I have been a long time subscriber but I just now figured out the best way to describe why I love each and everyone of your videos. You are the 'Morgan Freeman' of duel sport.' I could listen to you talk about the KLR 650's for hours, because each and every video, you sound like you are saying the most profound things that I want, ... no ... Need to hear, and I am hung on every word.
Thanks for your videos! and glad I can finally find out why I like your channel SO much. ha ha "Other than the fact that I want a KLR 650 so bad. ha ha Sold my Harley 6 months ago and well, life happened. I will get it eventually, and I will make sure that I document every second, and do for someone else what you have done for me with your adventures and videos.)
Keep em coming.
Just bought a brand new KLR. My dad and I both have our own 2015 and 2017 KLR's. I am thrilled for the hundreds of adventures that await us both.
I miss my ‘82 XL but parting ways with it gave a kid his first motorcycle.. a dual sport. That means there’s one more new rider out there that will always have a fondness for them. Mission accomplished!
Amazing how we can become so attached to our bikes. They help us experience things in a physical, personal way that few others can. Very thoughtful of you to give it to someone who will appreciate your gesture and go on to his own adventures.
KLR's come and KLR's go. They also have 9 lives like a cat. When I sold my 06 I was glad because it wasn't getting much use. Less than a year later my 02 KLR found me and has been my daily ride around the farm ever since! She is a "Grand Old Gal" and does it all!
Thanks for your gratitude! Both for the trusty KLR and for our country's service members.Happy new year!
Cool story, nice when a person truly loves his bike like that. It’s what riding is all about no matter the bike.
Aww!!...bye ol KLR! Tyler you are amazing!...hope the new owner loves her as much as you did! You are a good person!
So sad to see her go.............but I can't think of a better way to pass her on to a new owner. Thanks Tyler, for introducing me to the amazing world of Dual Sport. It's been a life changing experience. Best wishes to you and the family in the coming new year.
I'm a DR650 owner but I've always admired the KLR because of its bigger size I love the look of the newer KLR with the camo & black wheels
I just bought a 1993 klr 650 today and just watching this video has filled me with such overwhelming joy. I am so inspired to go where my Road Star could never take me. I'm guessing that it will be the best $1,500.00 I will have ever spent. Thank you for the video.
This KR and your channel are the reason I bought my pig. No regrets. Still commuting everyday temperatures in the teens and twenties. I have a perfectly good truck I just love riding the KLR.
Got a little yes tear in my eyes watching this.I own a klr650 now because of you and this bike. I started in the sport because of you both..I still hope to meet you one of these days and hopefully see the tractor out on the trails
Anyone who's ever owned a KLR... Can always appreciate one.
good bye old friend, your KLR adventures were some of the reasons why I picked up my KLR. From all over Colorado to Utah to New Mexico and now Minnesota it's taken me everywhere. Similar to what you said it was the best three grand I ever spent.
I wish some of those old videos were still up, they were great
Wholesome af. Just got my 1st dual. 05 klr. Put over 1k miles on it in 3 days.
Awesomeness in video form. A new promise of new adventures (for the new owner) and a sad day to see an old friend leave (for the rest of us,you especially).
I am surprised that Kawasaki did not offer to buy it from you to put in their museum ....This was the best KLR 650 commercial I have ever seen....Great job!!
All your KLR vids have just given me that much more confidence in what is my first "big bike" and also my first dual purpose. 07 KLR 650 for around $1,800 and 12500 miles on... I LOVE IT
And all this time enjoying your klr, you inspired thousands of people to start riding. You can feel pretty good about that.
I certainly hope I inspired some people out there... it's hard to get the occasional messages about bad crashes and injuries, and sometimes wives messaging me with news about their husbands' passing. Those are the exceptions, but overall I think people have had a very positive experience with their dual sport purchases :)
Tanner Milne ,I'm one of them
This is the first KLR650 I ever got to ride. When I set out on my dual sport buying experience it was the first KLR650 I saw on CZcams. I've seen it hundreds of times now, I've seen you ride it and love it, I've seen you ride it and hate it all well placed feelings and emotions. It's served you well and still has many more smiles, tears, crashes and triumphs in it's life. I'm glad to see it going to a good home. I'll pass on a saying that Hermit said to me the first time he ever saw Xena in person. "That is one famous Mo-Toe Vlogging Vehicle".
Now that is a respectable send off to an old friend, and giving it to a veteran is bittersweet 🤘🏻👍😁
I still have the first bike ( 1972 Honda TL125 ) my dad bought for me when I was 6 years old , and I still have my first dual sport ( 2015 Honda CRF250L ) I've ever bought . I don't think I could ever part with either one of them … there's just too many good times , and memories made on them . There's been quite a few bikes in between , but those two are special to me . Most come , and go , but I think those two are here to stay forever , and perhaps be passed down in my family when I die . You're a good man for doing this … I don't think I ever could . = )
The KLR is truly special to me, but I've let it go before (and then bought it back) and it's time to let it go again. The DRZ, though, is even more special. MrDuhFactor put his soul into that bike, and it was probably the kindest thing anybody outside of family has ever done for me. The DRZ is the bike that I can never get rid of!
Yep , I'm sure we all have that one that can never leave the stable unless it's being ridden . It's like grandpa's pocket watch , or dad's shotgun .
Big follower of your channel. Traded an old boat for my old '93 KilLeR, and I've never been happier. It was my first real bike. It's taken me thousands of miles from home, given me plenty of helmet time, and the only minor mishaps have been my doing (except for shooting the spark plug out). Much love for the KLR. Keep the videos going, and if ever in Michigan hit me up for a ride!
Here's to getting there, back and all the memories in between. Happy new year everybody!
Tyler,
Thank you soo much for all the great videos you posted up while riding, workin on and falling off this beast. Your work was the primary reason I decided to get back into riding after more than 20 years away from a bike. I re entered the riding scene with a beat up 96 DR 350 which I wrenched on and rode then passed on to my son to be his first bike. I've since moved up to a Beta 300 and have fallen deeper in love with riding. I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Damon last summer and express my thanks to him as well. Hopefully one day soon I can get down to St.george and meet you too.
It's a great thing your doing, passing this bike to such a deserving individual. Good on ya brother. Your an awesome individual and I will always be greatful to what you Damon, Rojo and a few others have brought into my life.
Best wishes to you and your family for the new year.
I love that you are passing it to the next person
This video was kind of sad it reminded me of why do I hold on to the bikes in my garage? Some I haven't ridden in 3 years even though I still love them. I bought them in my 40's because when I was tied down with young kids I couldn't afford my dream sport bikes or enduro. I always had 1 or 2 but wanted more being held back by finances. Now in my 50's I see a lot of era's come to an end such as WARREN MILLER the ski film maker. I been watching this channel enjoying listening to Everide evolve his skills and experiences. It's been nice listening to someone with passion on a budget. Hopefully even though Everide Good bye to the KLR era ends it will open the door to new bikes and trails. Warren Miller lived to 93 years old. I hope I make it that long to ride more in nice weather and watch Everide videos in the winter
This is the best video I've ever seen.
You are amazing Tyler. Don’t ever stop
Great homage and video to a do-it-all machine. The line is correct, does nothing well but does everything. I have endured mine for many miles, and in places it's not particularly suited. But I can only own one machine and while in Alaska...this was it. Years and two moves following highlighted the "weaknesses" but having no resources to get a more appropriate machine I held on to the old girl. For the most part with no regrets. The future will dictate any changes to the garage (once I get a garage) and I'm sure I'll miss her. But the memories will last forever.
You really have a way of expressing the joy of Dual Sport! My favorite bike I ever had was my DR350 yes it's over weight and not a super bike but we went places just for the fun. It never failed me and was always up to the adventure at hand. But I came home from my Brothers last Saturday and someone had decided they wanted it more than I did so they took it. While I had it I always dreamed of having something bigger and better because it could take me farther. But now that it is gone I would trade a brand new bigger and better bike for it. Dual sport bikes work their way into your life and become an extension of you. When they go you just have to say good bye old friend.
Dude I've watched this video a few times since it's been posted, and it is one of the reason I keep my KLR650. I have had so many moments where I just hated that bike. Why did I even get it? There are so many other bikes. Then I remember how cheap it was fully built ready for adventure and was my reason why I bought it. I didn't need to do anything, just ride. It's been one of the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned and currently the only one I can trust to turn key and go anywhere without doubt! I will evebtually upgrade when money permits, but until then, the fat ol pig seems to do the job just fine! Super amazing video man!
Good for you man.
I didn't sell my 07 KLR either. I payed it forward to a guy who really deserved it. There are times I wish I still had it, but I wouldn't change what I did for anything.
Goodbye KLR and eveRide! Thanks to both of you for the fantastic vids and adventure. I hope you both have a great next stage of your lives! Cheers!
I bought a brand new 16 camo edition KLR because of your videos. Best thing I ever did. I put 8k on mine the first yr and I don't use it for cross country just getting around and exploring the country side near my home.
What a great eulogy for the KLR!
With Kawasaki phasing the bike out after the 2018 models, the world is losing one of its most lovable motorcycles.
I've ridden KLRs as far south as Tierra del Fuego and as far north as Northern Labrador, and they've provided many wonderful memories. It's not perfect, for sure, but it's lovable!
Just another "you are why I bought my KLR" comment. Great vid. Thanks for what you do.
Hmm...Memories. I first saw the KLR, when a friend of a friend , wanted to do a temporary Couch Surfing, using our place to spend a few days exploring the South Island (Vancouver Island). I spent a few days gawking at this incredible machine (It looked pure military and utilitarian in a "go anywhere" and "don't mess with me" kind of way ) in my driveway before heading to work, I was pretty much 100% street for decades (except for my 4x4). Fast forward a few years when I was looking to replace my FJ1200, nosing through the local online used ads... an 2003 KLR locally, one owner! Quickly grabbed it, as they don't seem to be for sale for long. Yeah I really enjoyed that bike, easy to work on, a robust and friendly online community, tons of farkle (Dual Star), Took me a lot of places on and off road, and once I changed, what in my opinion was the worst Motorcycle seat I have ever sat on to a sleek corbin one I was ready to ride everywhere. Now that I have watched this video makes me a little melancholy for days on the "Thumper"... now on a DRZ now but wish I had both... :-)
You know Tyler. You have a true talent. Story teller, film maker and an all round good guy. Don’t ever stop what you do....we love you bro
I really enjoy your videos :) that KLR , 1904, BARBIE colors was my first dual sport as well. I sold it to and bought it back from a friend, rode it again and then sold it to my brother in law. Loved that bike so much.
Tyler, great video!! My first dual sport was a broken down 1992 DR250S. And to be honest I bought after watching your videos. I use to spend my weekends watching CZcams and playing Xbox. You motivated me to Go out and get out there and enjoy it. My sincere thanks to you and your Frankentracter. Without you 2 I'd still be sitting on the couch instead of out on the dirt.
thanks for the time you spent sorting through footage etc for this vid and others its appreciated and I know what kind of time is involved!
Thank you for making me wont to go ride my bike again today, your channel rocks.
Ive had many bikes and most came with tails to tell but they all left with grat stories to tell. Your a good man and if our paths ever crossed I'd buy a beer, have a chat and carry on with my adventures. All the best for the New Year brother.
KLRs never sold in Brazil. Still I have always loved it. Its simplicity is evident, just as it is clearly rugged, strong, reliable, durable... Unstoppable..lol. similar bikes made those characteristics clear. Then came many reports from owners in Europe and in the US. Later they started travelling around the world with no serious problems on the motorcycle. I've never been close to a KLR but I can be 99% certain of how great a bike it is. And your KLR is one I love a lot. For what it represents to the channel, for the stories you told us with it. It's almost a spirit of all we care for in adventure motorcycling. I thank that KLR for what it started in your heart and I thank you for translating so well that dual sport as a life style.
that is soo cool!!!. I get it, I too once had a KLR and for 11 years it was my #1, the fast one, the commuter, the 2 up and te dirthy one. Then I too found somebody that could benefit even more from it than I, so cheap and all farkle up she went to him, my friend and mechanic that has gotten to used it more than I could have.
Very well my friend, and keep gettin better! From Baja a big huge and the best for this new 2018!!!
miss the videos you did with your brother. great times...
babur.karaoglu - I miss those videos too! My family and I are actually up visiting for a week and we were able to get out and ride yesterday. No video. Just a good Theobrothers ride. It was amazing. We are trying to get a longer ride put together like our old UTBDR trip or something.
Same way I feel about my 1994 Yamaha XT225. I bought it in 1998, and have replaced pretty much every part on it, some several times. Tons of modifications. Over 30,000 off road miles. I never washed it, but I did do plenty of maintenance on it. I've been pounding on it for 20 years now, and it still runs great. I'm not getting rid of it. I bought a 2001 parts bike with a titled frame and 3,000 mile engine, good wheels, and a lot of other good parts. When the engine finally goes, I'll probably take parts from both bikes and rebuild it on the '01 frame.
love n peace from PAKISTAN
What a great video,made me respect my my dual sport even more
Goodbye by to a old friend. I ride a 08 KLR650 a lot because of your videos of this bike, and always enjoyed watching you on this bike. I’m hope the new owner will enjoy it as much as I do mine, and you did this one. Thanks for the great videos everide.
I really Loved this video mate , and i love that you are giving it to someone that you admire and that could realy use it to heal himself with .
looking foward to the video of you handing it over to him :)
Ride safe and have fun .
Your videos and specifically your KLR is what got me into dual sport bikes. Just your simple early videos. I have since been able to go camping with my father several times on the bikes. Your KLR videos paved the way for some great memories for me. Im greatful and I'll miss your KLR even though I've never even seen it lol.
Amazing and emotional video !!
Excellent segment about one's first love. It's appropriate that you are giving this bike to someone who will create memories of their own. Good on you, Tyler.
As always, thanks so much for sharing.
Steve
Wow! What an amazing way to pay tribute to the bike that started it all for you. The bike that was committed to your commitments and was always there to pick you up when life dropped you down. Great video Tyler. The DR650 for me is what the KLR was for you.
Great video! I teared up!
Hands down one of the best videos ever, what a great tribute to the KLR, and to your passion and character as a vloger and a man. I hope that all is well with you and I hope that your health issues become a thing of the past.
Nice video and great message, eveRide! Ditto on the KLR. I, still, can’t let go of my ‘06.
Excellent video. Many thanks!
Man the video made me so excited in the beginning but sad at the end. But is subscribed to this channel because I too have a KLR650, EveRide made me so into this bike and was super informative! God Bless!
Beautiful tribute. I want one.
This is the first time I have ever seen one of your videos.. this is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had found this channel years ago! Best of luck to you and your family man, I wish you all the happiness in the world!
Good bye KLR and thanks for introducing me to the world of dual sport through that bike and your channel. Well done on successfully articulating how we all feel about that one bike in our collection! Cheers Tyler
Feeding the soul. Keep it up brother!
I love watching your channel. I’m also getting more "experienced" and I’m having health issues so I enjoy watching you as a vicarious bike fix!
I still have hopes of riding again after my recovery. I hope you are getting another bike and will still be riding and filming again. Best wishes to you!
Great video as usual!!
I like your videos so much and the way you comment on them.
Hey man you have some awesome videos I can relate everything you're saying at one time I had a KLR 250 it was my first true love that was 20 years ago now I often wonder where it ended up, I always feel good after watching your videos I know you got some stuff going on just do your best , you help a lot of people in many different ways . Thank you. Don't worry about all the crazy Drone footage Etc Everyone likes your Channel because you just be yourself that's plenty entertaining haha LOL
Great video as usual, you inspired me to go for the klr. Over the years I've owned suzuki and kawasaki dirt bikes, shadows and goldwings but the klr was made for such a time as this in my life! Thanks !
Fantastic video. Best video I have seen in a while.
I have always had a deep love for motorcycles, but you and this bike started my obsession over dual sporting. I've still never bought a KLR but maybe one day.
Woah! I can't believe you're letting that bike go. And I hope this doesn't mean your videos of adventuring riding are coming to and end as well. I LOVE this channel and thoroughly enjoyed your stories. In fact, you're one of the primary reasons I bought my adventure motorcycle. Because of my size, I opted for a BMW R1150GS Adventure, but I NEVER lost my love of the KLR650 -- and, in fact, I intend to buy one eventually!! So, please tell us that you're not giving up this channel and videos.
So very cool, time for another one
As always nicely done. Stay safe
What a great video and good production also!!!!
Wish I could add more than just one like to this amazing video.
I have had a Magna, R6, R1, DRZ400, and nothing compares to the feeling of my 2024 KLR and I have never cared about modding a bike either, but with weeks I was adding mods to the KLR650
One of your best Video's
I own a KLR and soon will be taking it a crossed the USA on the Trans American Trail. See this bike and the changes it has been through over the years has been very interesting. That being said it has me feeling rather emotional too see you letting it go. Maybe on my way a crossed we could meet up. I'd love to shake your hand and chat bikes for a bit.
Beautiful video Tyler. Thanks for giving it to a deserving hero. I've been thinking lately of selling my thumper as well, but after watching this I don't think I can bring myself to do it. It's my only ride and the feeling it gives me when I'm on it and the places it takes me are priceless. Thanks for all the inspiration you've given me over the last few years. Keep it up.
I can only hope the KLR, to be well received and treated by her new family. So long KLR 650, and Thanks for taking care of Tyler, in his adventures, and giving us, all of what's around the chan chan. We all feel the goodbye ...I'm sure you'll be a star in a future vídeo of EveRide !! Or in a museum ... LOL !! Cheers. Mike
Loved it! Hope the new owner loves the bike just as much as you did :)
You and that old KLR definitely inspired me to get out and have my own adventures, good to see it go to a new home though
Another nice vid dude! My KLR has 30k miles on it and has never once left me stranded. Well one time but it was the stupid side stand switch that I bypassed on the spot so yeah.
