The Kawasaki KLR250 is a solid, dual purpose bike, perfect for off-road and short distance commuting. I bought one of these recently, for only £750, with 35,000 miles on the clock, getting a great deal isn’t so easy for a bike such as this, they’ll normally sell for nearer the £1000 mark. Here’s some general info about the bike: Model: Kawasaki KLR 250 Year: 1992 Engine/transmission - Displacement: 249.00cc (15.19 cubic inches) Engine type: Single cylinder Stroke: 4 HP (kW): 23.00 (16.8) @ 9000 Compression: 11.0:1 Bore x stroke: 74.0 x 58.0 mm (2.9 x 2.3 inches) Valves per cylinder: 4 Fuel control: DOHC Cooling system: Liquid Gears: 6 Transmission type/final drive: Chain Physical measures - Weight (incl. oil and gas): 134.0 kg (295.4 pounds) Chassis/dimensions Front tyre dimensions: 3.00-21 Rear tyre dimensions: 4.60-17 Front brake(s): Single disc Rear brake(s): Expanding brake Speed/acceleration - Top speed: 135.0 km/h (83.9 mph) Other information - Fuel capacity: 11.00 litres (2.91 gallons)
It’s pretty obvious via the stats it makes for a great bike –
· Good top speed. · 4 Stroke – no messing about with fuel. · Immense fuel capacity. · Good miles per gallon rating.
There are only two real problems with the bike – · Heavy at 134kg. · Not fuel injected, making flooding easy.
This bike is a good off-roader, but if you wanted a more powerful one, I suggest you stay away from the 650cc version – it’s not a great off-roader.
