The 2012 MY Kawasaki KLX140 comes in two versions, the standard KLX140, addressed mainly to younger riders, and the KLX140L, with its 19" front and 16" rear wheels, which addresses larger and a little more experienced riders.
When it comes to dirt bikes, the KLX140 may be considered one of the best options available, small and nimble, but also still packing some juice thanks to its 144 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. The electric start via the handlebar-mounted button also enhances the appeal and ease of use of this small motorcycle.
The 33mm telescopic fork and the rear UNI-TRAK linkage system and single shock with 5-way preload adjustability mean it can tackle almost any type of terrain.
