Kawasaki KLX300R reviews

I got my 2005 KLX300R new from a dealer around a month ago, and have to say that it really is the best. It's my second bike, I started riding around 9 months ago on a Suzuki DR250, however it lacked the power I wanted after I learned the basics. The 300R has ample grunt (although not uncontrollable), smooth power delivery and a really sweet chassis. The biggest difference I notice is the engine smoothness / pull from bottom end and the plushness of the upside-down forks compared with my old DR250. The decision to buy it was a no brainer for me, as most other brands were around 30-40% more expensive for similar CC's (although higher speed in suspension/overall componentry etc). I've put a ProCircuit Muffler on (from new) and am having a custom pipe made too. This bike seems to be targeted for recreational riding, not racing, which I don't do, so it suits me to a tee. Awesome value for money, very happy customer here!! Show less

Extremely light bike. Very agile on trails and superb power when required. It is the perfect size for endurance enthusiast and maybe lacks power for the pros. Overall, a dream bike! Show less
