Segment: Enduro/Offroad
Production years: 2009, 2010
The 2009 Kawasaki KLX250 is a motorcycle built for rough terrain, but thanks to its smart ergonomics and fully-featured design, it can also double as a swift and convenient commuter bike. While its design is inspired by the bigger off-road bikes, the KLX250 provides the best fun on both paved and unpaved roads.
With a narrow, redesigned seat, riders can now reach for the ground easier, for a boost of confidence, riding and when stopped, alike. The suspensions can be fully-adjusted and thus offer the best grip on a multitude of road surfaces, being also easy to tune according to each rider's style.
Not only is the 2009 Kawasaki KLX250 street-legal, but it also sports an all-digital instrument cluster loaded with a digital bar-graph tachometer, digital speedometer, clock, and dual trip meters, and the fuel-injection lamp also doubles as a low-fuel warning lamp.
