2008 Kawasaki KLX140 First Ride
2008 Kawasaki KLX140 First Ride
…and completely addicting. It will easily turn anyone into a giddy, giggly 10-year-old, even if you actually bought it specifically for your kids.The KLX has all of its controls along the handlebars. You won't find the nostalgic kickstart on the 140, only a push-button electric start and two accompanying…

2009 Kawasaki KLX250S First Ride
…the end of our ride aboard the new and improved 2009 Kawasaki KLX250S and, after spending all day trying to bust the bike, it was clear the little KLX has the ability to survive both a harsh desert thrashing and commuter duty in urban sprawl.The '09 250S is Kawasaki's latest entry to the increasingly…

…be expending resources on a playbike that might?ve seen its glory days gone by? Apparently so because Kawasaki revamped the king of playbikes, the KLX 110, and the minimoto warrior comes into 2010 with a fresh attitude. Not only that, it gets a big brother, the KLX110L! Kawasaki bumped the SOHC four…

…-head that impresses with its biceps, and the Yamaha is more of the easy-on-the-eyes, smooth talking type, the Kawasaki's role is of "the friend". The KLX is definitely lovable and has some attractive features alright, but they're hidden behind its somewhat oafish appearance. If you can look past the soft…

2003 Kawasaki KLX125L Comparison
…bikes in this shootout when pushed too hard. Like the Yamaha, the KLX/DR-Z uses a linkage system between the shift lever and transmission, which makes things feel a little spongy, but the tranny shifts positively. The clutch on the KLX seems to be the most prone, though, to fading under abuse.?Some of…

…fact that we went right home, typed the First Ride article, and then sent off an email to the proper Kawasaki authority figures to line up another KLX as a MotoUSA test bike.

…according to our butt cheeks, the wide-ratio transmission spreads out the torque without losing any. With a flywheel mass double that of the KX-F, the KLX spins up in the revs slower than its moto cousin. This isn't a bad thing. Traction is more readily available and the bike is much less of a brute.If…

…released the DR-Z125/DR-Z125L and the KLX125/KLX125L, respectively. Like the Yamahas, the standard DR-Z and KLX 125s come stock with 14/16-inch wheels and a 30.5-inch seat height, while the DR-Z and KLX 125Ls come with the 17/19-inch wheels and a 32-inch seat height. Since they are the same bikes in different…

…plenty fast and has a smooth power delivery. The magic starting button adds weight to make the DR the heaviest, but the convenience is well worth it.The KLX is actually surprisingly easy to start and kicks over on the second or third time when cold or hot. The Suzuki gets a gold star for an electric start…

2004 XR250 vs DR-Z250 vs KLX300R Performance
The KLX is clear winner of the horsepower war, due in large part to 50 extra cubic centimeters of displacementLike the Honda, both the Suzuki and Kawasaki have extremely soft suspensions. The KLX's Uni-Trak single shock bottomed out on bigger hits, even after we cranked up the preload. Likewise the Suzuki's…
