Kawasaki introduces KLX250SF supermoto

[Map8]

New SuperMoto based on the revamped KLX250S.

It has a carb so one wonders if it will be a CA model.

KLX250SF intro

 

[Junkie]

you could've read the writeup...

An evaporative emissions system allows the KLX250SF to meet strict CARB regulations, making it eligible for sale in all 50 states.

I'll keep my X.

Nice to see another 250SM option in the marketplace.

Kind of a cheezy rear tire size 130/70/17.

Isn't that the 1998 Kawi D-Tracker? Man those 10 years just flew by.

any insight into what radial tires come in that size?

Price is a bit high for me, otherwise I'd seriously consider this.

Ride my 610 sometime. You won't bother with a small displacement motard.

The thing is, ever since I ditched my 250 (big mistake) I've missed having a small displacement bike around. I'm not really looking for a larger displacement motorcycle right now. A 250 SM would be just right, if it didn't cost over 5 large. :|

 

[mikev]

It's a large displacement single though. It's not like a 600 sprotbile.

SOoooo you and that XR are the same weight

Come on I can tease, were the same size.

 

[planegray]

oops, specs say; "curb weight: 302.1 lbs"

gas tank holds 2 gal, (12Lbs) I guess oil + coolant is another 8lbs so I guess dry weight = 282lbs....ish...not as bad

(but I would be a lot more excited if it was south of 250lbs)

 

[brprider]

SOoooo you and that XR are the same weight

close 255lbs....Yes we are both heavy weights me and my XR it a love affair

 

[Seesm]

Looks like d -tracker with new plastics and anodized lower axle drop outs to me,....

Just like the Yamaha 250, it looks like a toy. Look at those cute little tires!
