We asked Kawasaki Thailand and had not reply, we asked Kawasaki HQ for reaction and nothing... Kawasaki Thai sales people seem too scare people away with, the words that the Kawasaki KLR650 doesn't meet Thai emission standards, but when we asked a Official if he could check for a Kawasaki KLR650 he confirmed that several where legally on the road in Thailand. With two of the latest of this Kawasaki KLR650 motorcycles qualifying for the Thai emission test. "​

On a whim I Googled 'KLR650' and found the above, noticing a current date on it and thinking it was current.
So I posted it here.
Ooops! It's old news.
However, the claim that a couple of the bikes had allegedly passed the Thai emission test was, I thought, interesting particularly when we are told that the KLR can't
and that is why we are denied it here.
