I have no idea why all the journalism channels keep comparing all the bikes on the same parameters... road riding, highway riding, offroad riding, tank size, seat height... whether it is a Hayabusa or a dirt bike like this KLX... each bike belongs to a particular segment, pick up the relevant points to that segment and objectives of that bike and compare/analyze. Why does this have to be the only bike in the garage? Why that question in the first place? Sorry for being so harsh, and also let someone from dirt background give a better review.

If the guy is new to off roading and knows nothing about it, how does he decide how good this bike is? Useless review in my opinion

Pricing reaction for the new upcoming Kawasaki KLX
2.10 Killing price
2.20 excellent price
2.30 good price
2.40 ok, considerable price
2.50 not for
2.60 still for the Kawasaki fan boys..
2.70 & Not recommended....

With the pricing, let's ditch this completely and let Kawasaki learn their lessons that the market is quite unforgiving, raw truth.

Let's continue practicing on the xpulse and hit the trails and continue perfecting our techniques and wait for the next xpulse coming next year soon. That'll be priced properly and be similar performing as this bike, with around 25 bhp.

2.80 lakhs ? you kidding me? That's really high. I'd rather spend a bit more and buy the upcoming ktm 390 enduro bike. It has lot more power and adjustable suspensions. Plus more service centers.

[maverick]

Let's be honest if it wasn't Kawasaki this bike will be expected at 2.0 lacs max

[bboyrjk]

I hope this beginner bike is priced like a beginner bike

[sajidshaikh]

I hope in future bike like this is lounch in 125 cc segment for those who are daily commute in city via unexpected plot Holes speed brakers and for whom can't purchase bike like this because of budget and petrol hungry engine
I hope in future

[samventures]

I think kawasaki will launch the w230 as well, there there will be two bikes with a 230cc engine, which can help with localisation bringing the price down.

[ncrbiker]

Checked with the local dealership today and its going to be between 3-3.25 on road in Delhi.

I have few suggestions not for the bike but for the video, it’s 2024 and stop adding fake black bar on top and bottom. Change the aspect ratio of your videos according to modern smartphones and also use PNG logos instead of your ugly logo in top right.

Most needed Bike in Nepal Chinese dirt bike hyped alot bring these bikes in Nepal please.. Honda got too much expensive here hope Kawasaki launches in Nepal with these bike.. with right pricing boom 💥 you can see triumph 400 series its all booked in the first launch..!!

[Caminator]

I don't agree with the 230 being a beginner bike.
When I began to ride I was 4 feet tall, tell me how does
an eleven yr old ride the 230?
A beginner bike is usually 50cc or so with a 3 speed

Hi.. When is the new KTM Adventure 390 going to be launched?

[motowire]

Professionals should be given to extract its true potential. It’s a purpose built bike, specific for motocross.

[akhilchalil]

This is the apt bike for our Bengaluru road

[mexfhg]

I want road legal dirt bike.. i don't want to slow down at every pothole bump or speed breaker 😊

[nadirzeeshan]

This will be a secondary bike for the buyer. Not a primary one for regular city rides with a missing mud guard only to paint you with mud.

[shankarnarayanbharati]

Aise Bikes ka desire hum 90's ke kids ko tha. Tab ke films mein Ajay devgan, Mithun da, Govinda (of course their body doubles) aise bikes ko lele pui kar ke villain aur uske gunda gang ke sar ke upar se kud ke nikal jaate the 😹. Aur SRK ka first scene kaise bhool sakte hain? "Koi na koi chahiye pyar karne wala" 😆

[altzpr]

What about klx 230 S ? Is it going to launch in India?
