To those familiar with the KLX110 off-road motorcycle, it comes as no surprise that it's Kawasaki's number-one selling off-road motorcycle. With its durable four-stroke engine, sturdy yet lightweight chassis and KX-inspired graphics, the KLX110 appeals to kids who love its lime green color and easy-to-ride nature, and adults who find its "mini-thumper" performance irresistible.
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. And while it's primarily designed for trail riding, the KLX110 has become a favorite with adult riders who are modifying the KLX110 for "competition" at mini-motocross events held in backyards and arenas nationwide.
