I've been thinking about getting a new bike that is street worhty, good on gas, ( my 14 gets about 30 MPG cause I can't keep out of the throttle ), and my Harley gets 35.This one looks like it could also do wellfor trail rides.
Well here it is, what do you think?



The fun doesn’t have to stop at pavement boundaries when riding Kawasaki’s D-tracker 250. This lightweight Super Motard style motorcycle is at home on the pavement and always ready for your next adventure. Now, thanks to significant updates that saw refinements made everywhere from its improved braking prowess to its aggressively styled bodywork, the 2008 Kawasaki D-tracker 250 is more fun than ever. With the worldwide introduction at the 2007 Tokyo Motorshow, the Kawasaki D-Tracker 250 with almost 40 horsepower, is set to impress the motorcycle press.

A compact, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, four-valve, single-cylinder 249cc displacement engine, the Kawasaki D-tracker 250 features convenient electric-starting. Kawasaki uses for this bike a engine with a large 72mm bore and 61mm stroke, producing a compression ration of 11:1. The engine is mounted beneath a lightweight, semi-double cradle, high-tensile steel perimeter frame to deliver a low center of gravity and enhanced maneuvering on tight trails.

 

yea..... tremor on here has a black one, he lives over in japan, they didnt import the D trackers into the US.... good luck with that.... alot of klxers have bought supermoto wheels and tires for thier klx's... im sure it would be fun with street tires on it.... im too much of a dirt rider to do that though.... i bought a whole bike for half the cost of new wheels......

 

 

whats so special about it ?

 

There is nothing special about this bike. I just want something to ride to work or trail riding that is good on gas and is not a mophead.
But it is a Kawasaki!

 

im not sure about the d tracker, but the suzuki drz400SM has different brakes, wheels, suspension... and a few others things....
