2023 Kawasaki KLR 650

A compact, agile roadster from BMW Motorrad, the G 310 R is designed for city rides and beginner-friendly fun with premium build quality. At its heart is a 313 cc liquid-cooled single‐cylinder DOHC engine producing around 34 hp and 20.6 lb-ft (28 Nm) of torque. It’s paired with a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. The chassis features a tubular steel frame, upside-down 41 mm front fork with 140 mm travel, and an aluminium swing-arm rear with 131 mm travel. Brakes include a 300 mm front disc with 4-piston radial caliper, a 240 mm rear disc, and standard dual-channel ABS. Ergonomically it’s approachable: seat height about 30.9″ (785 mm) and claimed curb/wet weight around 362 lb (164 kg). Fuel capacity is roughly 2.9 gal (11 L), giving a very light and nimble ride feel for urban or light weekend use.
