While the KL125 is an excellent starter bike for many youth and adult beginners, other riders would like to have a motorcycle that's a little taller in the inseam.

The KLX125L off-road motorcycle is just the ticket for them, because it adds a larger 19-inch front wheel and 16-inch rear wheel, plus a front disc brake to the KLX125 chassis.

Powered by a torquey and responsive air-cooled 125cc four-stroke single, the KLX125L pumps out plenty of power. 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, makes this quiet-running motorcycle reliable and easy to operate.

A high-tensile steel frame with a rigid carbon-steel swingarm add to the machine's durability and lightweight handling characteristics, while bumps are handled by a long-travel front fork and linkage-equipped single-shock rear suspension system.
