Kawasaki KLX 250 The Kawasaki KLX 250 is a great dual sport bike for both the experienced rider as well as those getting back on a bike after several years. The bike is liquid cooled and lower to the ground than the XR or Baja packing a bit more punch than the 230 FTR or 200 Van Van. The fuel tank is small like the XR but with fuel being available all over Laos, it's not an issue.
