Does the 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 have enough top speed to handle freeway riding? Is the lack of 6th gear a deal breaker in terms of 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650 freeway performance? In this video, I'll show you exactly how the 2022 KLR 650 highway speed performance is in the simplest and most direct way I can think of: by actually taking my 2022 KLR on the freeway and recording the whole thing.

This idea that the KLR isn't a bike you can ride at freeway speeds or really anything above 65 or 70 miles per hour is a total myth, in my opinion. Sure, it would be more comfortable if the KLR had a 6th gear, but that doesn't mean it can't handle being ridden at freeway speeds for extended periods of time. There are vibrations, yes, but the 2022 KLR 650 top speed is more than adequate to not only survive on the freeway, but to allow you to cruise comfortably and safely while still having enough power to accelerate to 80 or 90 miles per hour if need be.

Basically, riding the KLR on the freeway is totally possible and you shouldn't let the stigma associated with it keep you from strongly considering purchasing a 2022 KLR 650 of your own.
