Here's a pic of a Japanese Ground Self Defense Forces KLX250 riggedto carry areconnaissance trouper with gear. It carries water and an Alice Pack (equivalent) full of food and gear.

Yeah, I'm bored, but it would be cool if part of the job was to ride around one of these...as long as you're not getting shot at The other recon bike they use is the XRL250.

 

When i was over seas in afghanistan, the italian army had something almost like that. Itwas a litlle more olive drab in color, and it was a klx300. Looked fun though...

 

How about this one.... I also like my CT70... got me into this whole bike thing.....

How about this one?

 

haha, i gogled army dirtbike and this is what i got. im shure it blow away that jap militery one[8D]

 

Whats up with teh forks on the military klx. I didn't think the klx came with conventional forks in any year.

 

think that the usmc bike is a diesel klR

 

I can only guess that the USD forks didn't meet Japanese military spec. I wonder which forks Kawi used.

 

Yeah, I'd like to ride one of those KLR650 diesels just to see how it feels.

 

I wonder what tires they have on 'em?
