Great bike, I love it, I pulled into a local gas station the other day and I was told by a woman getting out of her car that I couldn't ride dirt bikes on the road. I told her it's not a dirt bike it's a dual sport, I pointed out the turn signals, inspection sticker, and license plate, and she left me alone. Even though I ride it like a dirt bike, its still street legal. I've had mine for 4 weeks already and have 900 miles on it. I haven't traveled anywhere important (like work) yet on it. Fuel mileage is great; people are impressed and sometimes almost faint when they hear it gets 67.8 mpg. The last 400 miles on my bike have been off-road; I don't care for riding on the street. Now, it is time for the complaints. The Dunlop 603 rear tire wears out quick, it has a small 1.9-gallon fuel tank and the factory suspension, even when adjusted properly, is too soft for heavy off-road or motocross style riding. It has a restrictive exhaust and the carburetor is jetted lean from the factory to meet EPA standards for emissions, so the bike isn't at its full potential out of the box. Overall, it's a great bike, decent price, and with a few mods, this bike would be awesome. So flock to your local Kawasaki Dealer and order one today.
