Most off-road motorcyclists can vividly recall their first bike
- from what it looked like to the excitement of learning to ride. The Kawasaki
KLX110 stirs the same sense of excitement among young riders. The bright
green graphics, non-intimidating nature of a four-stroke engine
and automatic clutch
make learning to ride with their parents an enjoyable adventure. The
mini-thumper performance of the KLX110 also makes it the ultimate pit
bike and weekend racer.
The KLX110 is
powered by an 111cc air-cooled, two-valve, four-stroke engine. This
motor is the epitome of user-friendly and is even equipped with a
screw-type throttle limiter mounted on the handlebar housing. This
easily accessible feature means parents can control the power output
with a simple turn of a screw. The engine's tractable power is delivered
to the rear knobby via an easy-shifting, semi-automatic three-speed
transmission, complete with centrifugal clutch. Newer riders gain
confidence quickly by focusing on steering and balance instead of clutch
coordination.
The frame for the
KLX110 is constructed from the same state-of-the-art high-tensile steel
used on Kawasaki's full-size off-road machines, and its race-bred
styling and graphics will undoubtedly please young motocross fans. The
compact fuel tank, saddle, sporty shrouds, side covers, and number plate
were all plucked from Kawasaki's smallest competition motocross machine,
the popular KX65.
