The Rage PowerSport Motorcycle Carrier # SMC600 will work in the hitch of your 2012 Honda CR-V that has a 525 lb tongue weight rating. This carrier weighs 100 lbs though so you would be left with 425 lbs of capacity for the weight of your 2014 KLR 650. Which from my research weighs 435 lbs.

Since that would put you over capacity a better option for a motorcycle carrier would be the part # UF48-979033 with weighs 35 lbs les.
