Motorcycles Kawasaki KLX250S Red Motocross Edition

Have plate, will travel--that’s dual-sporting in a nutshell, and nowhere is that description more appropriate than in Death Valley National Park in California and Nevada, where miles of rugged roads wait to entertain two-wheeled explorers and some of the best scenery in the desert is tucked away in remote canyons. The ‘gotcha’ is that all vehicles must be licensed for the street. It’s no surprise, then, that Kawasaki chose the park to introduce its updated 2009 KLX250S last April, unveiling the bike’s first major overhaul since the original 2006 model. A 70 percent dirt bias to the test circuit reflected Kawi’s discovery that nearly all KLX owners use their 250s for trail riding, so why not show off the changes by letting the press kick up some Death Valley dust?
