RE: Is the KLX250S Right for Me?
Honestly, I dont think i would ever have a need to get on the highway with it. I would just ride to work and then hit some trails. I would rejet it and pipe it as soon as I got it. I want something that is like riding a dirt bike around town. The main reason that the bike appeals to me is that the price is right, and it is light.

RE: Is the KLX250S Right for Me?
sounds like this bike will fit the bill then.

RE: Is the KLX250S Right for Me?
I would seriously consider converting a Real fast dirt bike if you want to go real real fast. Get an old Yamaha MX360 and make it street legal. I had one as a kid growing up and I weighed 120 Lbs. I can't imagine a bike being much faster than tham MX360 2 stroke aside from a CBR1000. As for the KLX, I love it for the great mix of off/on road fun. The 6th gear is a great plus and I don't think any other Dual Sport is near as High tech as the KLX. The anti-Vibration system really works nice and after several long trips I was sold on it. I love this Bike but again if you want really really fast, look at lots of mods or a pure street bike maybe. I love the ZX-6R!

Deej,you let me down bro.[&o]For once you didn't push the bike like a spokesperson for kawi,and want a Honda to boot. Maybe he needs a few of your pics to convince him.LOL:D:D

ORIGINAL: deej I'm 6-1 and 250-260 and the bike still takes me anywhere, I can only imagine if someone was 75-100 lbs lighter this bike would really haul. Definately a good bike to boot around town in, anything over 70mph kindof scares me as wind gusts seem to rock me side to side a bit. I can keep up to my buddies on trails and if i can't, its usually because my skill or better judgement keepingme back. |

I love the ZX-6R! I thought about converting a normal MX bike, but I want the reliability. I do not want a street bike at all, as I am trading in my current street bike for this klx. |
RE: Is the KLX250S Right for Me?
It sounds like you would be fine with a KLX as long as you weren't expecting it to do what your RMZ did in the dirt. The KLX is a fun bike to ride on the road and take exploring in the woods but not very fun on a motocross track. I tried it and borke 2 ribs! It just doesn't jump like an MX bike and I am too old to be doing that anyway.
Get it, they are fun bikes. |
