2005 Kawasaki KLX125L Motorcycle reviews

I've had this bike for about a year now, and it is amazing! The suspension is great and I could turn it on a dime. I took it out to a track a little while ago and it did fine! I checked later and saw no sign of wear, or frame warping period. Despite what everybody else says, I don't really think it needs any mods, other than possibly a BBR frame cradle to keep the bike in shape. Another cool thing about it is like no other midsize 4-stroke, it has suspension preload, allowing you to launch yourself higher, and farther. Overall, sick bike. Show less

I just recently got into dirt bikes, and though this is my 1st bike, I absolutely love it. It handles and feels great, has a very broad and thirst-quenching power band, and begs for more! I've already crashed on it several times, gotten it off some jumps, and got my handlebars bent. Later in the future, I'd like to get a t-4 silencer with a stainless steel pipe. No matter how much I flog it, it stays reliable. Show less

My wife has been riding this bike for about two months and it's performed perfectly. She's never driven any type of motorcycle before and the comfortable power supply of the 125L seems to fit her perfectly too. I ride a KLX400 but have no problems pushing the little 125L to 50mph even with my 200 pounds on it. The 125L seems to have a steady power band that allows the rider to putt around in second or third gear all day if wanted with no stalls. In my view, this was the perfect bike for her and is large enough for her to grow into... not out of. Show less

This bike is awesome. My first bike and it hasn't let me down yet. It beats all the 4-stroke 80's and will keep up with a 250 trike. Everything on this bike is good except it could use a 6th gear and I'd be happy. You ask "is it worth 200 more dollars for the bigger tires?" Definitely because all that crap in trails you hit or get stuck on with the usual 125, this bike just rolls over and keeps going. The suspension on this bike is awesome. I've hit big jumps with no landing on them and landed comfortably. Yes we all know how Suzuki and Kawasaki merged but there are a few slight differences and I prefer the Kawasaki over the Suzuki, because first off the Suzuki's clutch and brake levers are weird - they bend around and 2 the Kawasaki seems to have more power (I have ridden both.) Over all good for beginner riders and people who want to step up from a smaller bike as well as people who just want a good time and good power. Show less
