AN OFFROAD SOUL THAT

TAKES YOU PLACES

Inspired by our championship-winning KX™250F motocrosser, the Kawasaki KLX™250S

motorcycle offers amazing off-road performance together with complete street

equipment that makes it highway legal. Fire the electric starter and the 249cc DOHC

liquid-cooled single engine instantly awakens. Then click the 6-speed transmission into

gear, slip the clutch and head towards the nearest trailhead, where the long-travel KX-

style inverted fork, UNI-TRAK

really bred. Now, if you could stay there and ride forever.
