2010 Kawasaki KLX140, Pit bike? - Small-Bike Friendliness, Big-Bike Capability There s nothing like an off-road motorcycle that does many things well, especially one that fits a wide variety of riders and skill-sets. And with its mid-sized stature, flexible engine and easy-to-ride nature, Kawasaki s 2011 KLX 140 is one such multi-talented machine. Smaller riders will love the KLX s physical size a touch larger than a typical minibike and push-button starting, while those a bit taller will appreciate the larger-wheeled KLX140L, which features a 19 inch front and 16 inch rear wheel in place of the standard KLX s 17 inch front and 14 inch rear wheels. Both 140s are friendly to beginners and novices, yet both offer a roomy cockpit and enough performance and handling prowess to keep more advanced riders smiling.
