With its easy-starting four-stroke engine, tractable powerband and relatively low seat height, the Kawasaki KLX125L off-road motorcycle is perfect for youth riders and novice adult riders who want to further develop their riding skills. The KLX125L also features larger wheels for taller riders.

Powered by a torquey and responsive air-cooled 125cc four-stroke single, the KLX125L pumps out plenty of rider-friendly power for off-road fun. The engine is specially tuned for low and mid-range power, and a smooth shifting five-speed transmission means there's a gear for every riding situation. A cable-operated manual clutch, along with a digital CD ignition for quick starts, makes this quiet-running motorcycle reliable and easy to operate.

The KLX125L rides on a 19-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel, while a front disc brake and rear drum brake provide ample stopping power.

A high-tensile steel frame with a rigid carbon-steel swingarm add to the machine's durability and lightweight handling characteristics, while bumps are soaked up by a long-travel front fork and linkage-equipped single-shock rear suspension system. The combination of a short wheelbase and a very comfortable riding position makes the KLX125L fun to ride on a variety of terrain.
