Best Kawasaki Trail Bikes

Budget bush basher – Well, its time to update my review of the gen 2 klr650. Mine is still going strong. After nine years it now has 107,000km on the clock! Yep. That's… Read more

right, 107,000km. No oil burning. No "Doo hickey" modification. No power pipe. No carby mods. No air box mods. Totally stock and original. I use Castro 4t oil. Do the air cleaner often since 80% of my riding is on dirt. Yep, it's still a heavy pig. It's still awkwardly tall. The brakes are still very average. It always has at least one thing that needs fixing, and it's still put to shame by the average 250 for power. But.........after the zombie apocalypse, the cockroaches will emerge from the smouldering ashes riding a klr650! They won't be breaking any records, but it will keep on running. Cheap to buy. Easy to work on. Parts are readily availble along with a huge range of aftermarket farkles in every price range. I'll be keeping mine for a while yet I reckon

and 2009 KLX250's, both of theirs didn't like to start too when cold, which was a pain when you work late shifts and trying to start your bike at 1am in the morning and all you want to do is go home and sleep. :s

I sold it and bought a DRZ 400, it is just as reliably as the klx, a little bit heavier, but the power of the DRZ and the fact it always starts in Really cold or hot weather is a deal breaker.

Would i buy another? Nah, I'd look at other makes before going KLX 250 again. But in saying that, if you don't have the money for other makes, the KLX250 is a cheap bike for the money, i paid $1,700 with rego.

great alrounder – this bike for the price is an awesome machine highly recommend it to anyone wanting something other than an expensive European bike great power great… Read more
