2009 Kawasaki KLX250SF - Small Bike, Big Fun

As the low man on the totem pole, I'm often given the ponies in the Motorcyclist stable to trot around on: Suzuki DR-Z400SM, Kawasaki Ninja 250R and now the KLX250SF. What the higher-ups don't understand is I love these little thrash-monsters. They're light, agile and endlessly amusing to flog. Sure, I enjoy wheel-lofting horsepower and race-winning performance on the track, but on the street it's far more entertaining to wail on an underpowered bike than it is to restrain a powerful one.

...Another great little bike from Kawasaki. People are enamored with big displacement bikes and all the while there are a whole raft of very affordable, very fuel efficient motorcycles out there that don't cost you an arm and a leg to own and enjoy.

Personally, I prefer the ADV version of the 250 as well as the venerable KLR 650 ADV version but they are all good.
