The KLX125 provides the ideal combination of easy-to-use power, a low 30.5-inch seat height and off-road capability for youth and adult beginners who want to develop their off-road riding skills.

Powered by a torquey and responsive air-cooled 125cc four-stroke engine, the KLX125 pumps out plenty of user-friendly power for off-road fun. The engine is specially tuned for low and mid-range power, and a 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, make this quiet-running motorcycle reliable and easy to operate.

The KLX125 rides on a 17-inch front wheel and 14-inch rear wheel, while front and rear drum brakes provide ample stopping power and are low maintenance.

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 shorter wheelbase and a very comfortable riding position makes the KLX125 fun to ride on a variety of terrain.

Inspired by Kawasaki's KX models, the fuel tank, slim seat and number plates give the bike the team look, while the classic lime green plastic gives it a true Kawasaki identity.
