The 2015 MY Kawasaki KLX140 is a sound choice for a small displacement off-road bike. Its 144cc single-cylinder engine is paired to a close-ratio five-speed transmission with a progressive manual clutch that allows more inexperienced riders to master clutch engagement and gear shifting.
The two-wheeler has a keyless electric start system, via a handlebar-mounted button.
Another feature worth mentioning on this model is the 220mm front petal disc and large-bore 27mm twin-piston caliper, which can be found on its larger siblings, the KX450F and KX250F. This makes the bike more easy to control.
