![]() ![]() A low seat height allowed most riders to get their feet on the ground and the handlebars were even tall enough that the KLR held onto its C grading for comfort. But what about the quality and fitment to the bike Christmas Day was nearly 60 degrees here in North Carolina, so I took advantage of the mild temperature and sunshine to strap them onto the KLR. The KLR650 was always a fairly comfortable machine with a seat that feels familiar, like your favorite couch cushion. In my humble opinion sparkle is for posers. At 150, they're a very economical solution - especially at 35 liters capacity each. that splits the words better, but it is too funky, farkle is funky too though. maybe a better term from my point of view might be 'funkle'. Now to me only the 'F' comes from function, the rest of the word comes from sparkle. One day I asked another klr guy what the term meant and where it came from he explained to me it was the combo of the words: function and sparkle. That’s seriously good value for a new adventure bike, putting it into. This is a shame as, judging by the American pricing, the KLR650 ABS would set you back 6,999, or just over £5,000. I found his farkle items to be a bit hokey, cumbersome and useless as far as being functional.Īnd I thought it was an odd term. And, despite there undoubtedly being a market for a no-thrills adventure bike like the KLR650 in the UK and Europe, there’s no news of this happening yet. the rider was very proud of this farkle thing but could not explain the term. I bought this 2022 Gen 3 KLR 650 for my 48th Birthday I got the bike in middle June and my MSF course was still two weeks out. I had never heard of farkle, until I was working on a customer's KLR a couple years ago, or was it a DR, or a KLX, or a DRZ? Some kinda dualsport bike (with farkle). Enthusiasts will farkle up their motorcycles with aftermarket accessories such as radar detectors, GPS units. I have owned literally hundreds of motorcycles. Im using the stock handlebars and Im happy with the setup. They havent ripped, in fact they dont look worn at all. ![]() I have been working on motorcycles for my livelyhood since the early 1970's. Ive had the ProGrip RVGS Gel 719s on my KLR for about 15,000 miles now. Rumble on down to Adrenalin Motorsports in Casa Grande and ridenow with me and the kellys in our x3 maverick all over. ![]()
