Well I got a chance to finally take the KLX out and do some riding - all sorts of riding . . . .

During the almost 80 mile ride I was on pavement, packed clay - dry, soft sand, sugar sand, mud and a deep watery muddy crossing.

The bike passed all those situations with flying (not as in Todd type flying) colors! I am impressed. I am quite pleased with my selection of this particular motorcycle. It is just what I wanted it to be.

Kawasaki has always used the KLX designation to denote off-road bikes. The KLR is the descriptor of a road worthy bike.

And it shows. The KLR250 is a good road bike that you can take off road. The KLX250 is a good off road bike that you can take onto the highway.

While the seat is not the most comfortable I have ever ridden on, it is a far cry from the vinyl covered 2x4 that adorn many of it's competitors.

I will never make this comment in the presence of my wife, but for right now the KLX250S is a motorcycle that really needs nothing to be done right away. I'm content to ride it just like it is!

 

Glad to hear you like the bike. The only mod I have done so far is to stick a small battery clock on near the gauges, and the mudflap extenstions, which by the way have taken care of the spray problem. You would think that they would test before production oh well. Oh Marty, you still didn't tell us where you got the cool clock/temp in you're sig. hehe

When it runs, it looks good. I think they're having server problems at this time.
