2003 Kawasaki KLX 125L
With the KLX110 neatly filling the role of a youth size bike, what are youngsters to do when they outgrow it? Simple; get the new KLX125 or KLX125L. With two models available, these intermediate dirt bikes are the ideal mount for growing riders, whether they are just starting out or moving up from a smaller motorcycle. And, a low seat height and a comfortable riding position instill a feeling of confidence in anyone who rides it.One of the paramount features comes from the diversity it offers. The KLX125 sits on a 17-inch front wheel and a 14-inch rear wheel, while the taller KLX125L rests upon a 19-inch front wheel and a 16-inch rear wheel. The KLX125 is fitted with drum brakes while the L model runs a disc at the front and a drum at the rear.
Powered by a torguey and responsive air-cooled 125cc four-stroke single, both the KLX125 and the KLX125L pump out plenty of rider-friendly power for off-road fun. The engine has been specially tuned for ample 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 CD ignition for quick starts, makes this quiet running motorcycle reliable and easy to operate.
A high-tensile steel diamond frame with a rigid carbon-steel swingarm adds 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 wheel base and a very comfortable riding position make both the KLX125 and KLX125L fun to ride on a variety of terrain.
Inspired by Kawasaki's racy KX models, the fuel tank, slim seat and number plates give the bike an exciting look, while classic lime green plastic gives a true Kawasaki identity.
