Kawasaki KLR250 reviews

I have the 2001 klr250. Love it !!! I bought it to ride with my 13yr old twin boys. They ride TTR125's. The klr250 is light,quiet, and has plenty of power. I do a lot of riding on the city street as well as trail riding. It is great for riding in the city traffic. Liquid cooled is great for traffic. I do ride on the hwy for short distances. I can cruise at about 60 mph with no problems. I do wish they made more acc. for the bike. The klr650 has everything you could ask for in acc. but very little for the 250. I modified some ATV tank bags to fit the bike and added a fender pack for tools. Right after I bought the bike I saw the rear rack on the Kawasaki web site. But since then I have been unable to re-locate the rear rack. I would really like to purchase the rack. If anyone can help point me in the right direction, I would be very thankful. Thanks and be safe...Great Riding !! Show less

Everyone gravitates towards to the KLR650 for power and accessories, but you will be running circles around them in the dirt with this light weight dual sport. It's around 80 lbs. lighter than the KLR650! With optional rear storage rack, you can attach add-on packs, and you can get aftermarket pipes, shocks, and tires. All around great bike for exploring mountain trails and local streets. Show less
