Well, this will make picking the Honda CRF
250L easier for those looking for a new bike.

Austrailia has a 2015 KLX250S.

Thats kind of odd. If you look at the specs on that link is states CVK34...I thought they got the EFI model???

Just seeing how things are getting more strict for emissions and all that I wouldn't be surprised if Kawi is developing or going to use a more modern engine in the two fiddy KLX. I've dreamed of a FI KLX300 from the factory or something similar. The only thing I suspect is if that were to happen, we'd be all pumped but now days it seems like manufactures wring out the most from engines and leave nothing for people like us to mod them. Which, who doesn't want a bad *** bike with a warranty but its fun to mod things also.
