2021 Kawasaki KLX300 KLX300SM Video Review

Показать описание

We test two new models from Kawasaki: the KLX300 dual-sport (MSRP $5,599) and the KLX300SM supermoto (MSRP $5,999). Both are powered by a 292cc DOHC liquid-cooled four-valve fuel-injected single borrowed from the KLX300R off-road bike.

The KLX300 dual-sport is equipped with off-road-ready 21- and 18-inch wheels shod with Dunlop D605 knobby tires, a 43mm USD fork with adjustable compression damping and 10 inches of travel and a fully adjustable gas-charged Uni-Trak shock with 9.1 inches of travel. It has a 35.2-inch seat height and weighs 302 pounds wet.

The KLX300SM has 17-inch wire-spoke wheels shod with IRC Road Winner RX-01 rubber. Compared to the KLX300, the SM has stiffer suspension damping, less suspension travel, taller final-drive gearing and a larger front rotor.

Road Test Editor Nic de Sena spent a full day testing each bike, on public roads, at an OHV park (on the KLX300) and on a kart track (on the KLX300SM). He had a ball and says these bikes are great for newer riders or for those who just want to have fun on a budget.

Rider magazine is awesome - very nice review. Picked up my KLX 300 dual sport in April - street rider for 20 years - with my 30” inseam the seat height takes a little getting used to, but it’s a nicely balanced and forgiving bike overall. Really enjoying it so far!

I'm a Kawi and Yamaha man myself, but with that being said, i hope Suzuki is paying attention.

I have had one for about 3 weeks now and i am a pretty new rider i have ridden before but have never had a new bike and i love it so far great little bike for a someone in the beginner level of rider. I do have alot of fun just putting around town and going to test it out of town trips fuck it gonna full send it and see what she has! If you look hard enough there is one guy weighing in at 160 and taps the sm model to 101 mph which is very suprising. beware when you buy this bike you pay dmv fees and taxes. I payed a even 7500 out the door!
