KAWASAKI KLR650 CAMO (2017) Specs, Performance & Photos

For 2017, Kawasaki launched two KLR650 models, such as the standard KLR650 and the KLR650 Camo edition, a series of dual-purpose motorcycles designed for adventures either on-road or off-road and came in a color combination that enhanced its appearance.

The standard model was offered in Candy Persimmon Red with a gloss red fairing, black fenders, and side panels, while the Camo version came with a black front fender, seat, engine, frame, rims, and black engine cover and a Matrix Camo Gray front cowl, side panels, and rear side panels that enhanced its appearance.

The KLR650 Camo offered great ergonomics with its seat that featured a narrow front section with a rounded profile for easier reach to the ground, and towards the rear, it had a slightly tapered profile that offered a wider platform for better comfort for the rider and passenger.

The 2017 Kawasaki KLR650 Camo model featured a semi-double cradle high-tensile steel frame made of round sections and a removable rear subframe that provided better access to the rear shock absorber, airbox, and carburetor.

As for power, the Camo edition packed the same engine as its standard siblings, such as a 651cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that featured a double-engine balancer for smooth running from idle to the redline and a power output of 42 hp at 7,000 rpm and 47 Nm (35 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.

For braking performance, the bike packed a dual-piston caliper with a 280 mm petal-styled disc on the front and a 240 mm petal-styled disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.
