We Say: Say Hello to One of Kawasaki’s Most Friendly Off-roaders.
It’s like getting hit in the face with a metal pan, when the powerband hits on an off-road 450. The acceleration is so violent and so immediate that it makes you wet your pants. So if you’re planning to start your off-road adventures atop a 450, well, just don’t. It won’t end well. What you need is a nice, friendly trail bike that is light and manoeuvrable, yet has enough grunt to give you your daily adrenaline fix. What you need is something like the KLX140G.
The KLX series is Kawasaki’s trail and enduro line of motorycles. That means that they do not use competition spec components and have engine lives longer than the lifespan of a fly. The idea of the KLX line is to mix performance and usability. The series starts from mini-bikes like the KLX110 and goes up to the KLX450R, which is Kawasaki’s competition-spec enduro racer. Right in the middle of this spectrum sits the KLX140G – mid spec, learner friendly, 144cc, trail motorcycle.
In case you’re wondering, the G in the name stands for giant. What this means is that the KLX140G uses fullsize wheels unlike the KLX140L, which is meant for younger riders. It uses the 21-inch and 18-inch combination that is standard across almost all full-size off-road motorcycles.
