Its a KLX 250, needs a couple of jobs doing but should be OK, not the quickest bike I have ridden but is very light and should prove good in tight off road area's like the woods and carving through the traffic on the daily commute.

gonna get muddy on sunday !

graphic are a bit 1980's track suit so they will need to go !

Nice bike!

If the front wheel's on the ground for more than 10 seconds I'll be disappointed.

cheers, well the front certainly dont lift under it's own steam so some clutch slipping will be required to wake the beast !

That looks clean and nice and shiny!
I think the KLX250 is about 30bhp, but they rev to over 11500, so you gotta rev the tit's off it, in true Kawasaki style!

got mine for £1300, I looked hard there is no much about at that price, seems to be a lot more on offer once you get up to 2k. Dirt bikes seem to be few and far between in the east of England.

I have seen figures of around 30bhp but it doesn't feel like it! I think its more like 25, I only rode it down the road for a quick test drive but it does seem revvy!

I'm surprised.
I have a 1980 PE175 and that thing wants to live permanently on the back whell, surprised a 250 won't do the same.

Keep the seat, needs new grips though, some renthal ones.

Bike looks awesome, get a number on that white plate, and maybe some other moto-X stickers!

Looking good.
