Extremely balanced dual-sport

This is a great dual sport bike! I chose it because it is about 30 pounds lighter with a couple inches shorter seat height than the KLX 250. It has a torquey, powerful engine, yet it's very smooth with low vibration at cruz speed. In contrast, my Yamaha XT 225 feels like it will vibrate apart. The t...ransmission feels solid and shifts lightly, quickly and positively and has the perfect ratios.

It is a bit cold blooded but with simple jetting adjustments it warms up quickly and really comes alive. The forks are not bad, as good as the Yamaha XT 225 and the Honda CRF 230F but I do wish it had cartridge forks. Please, Kawasaki are you listening?

I like it so much I bought a second one for my son and wife! Read Full Review

Best Bang for the BUCK!

I purchased this bike purely for fun. I just had to have it. I love the old school look and love the ride. I wish we had more hills and off road areas here in florida but i'll take what i can get. Very smooth engine at speeds. I get a lot of people asking me about the bike...what year is it? T...hat is my favorite question!! Read Full Review

Glad they're back!

The 250 Kawasaki Super Sherpa was not available in the U.S. since 2003. It is a low cost, reliable, fun dual purpose bike. Low seat height, low weight, close turning radius, strong reliable engine, 6 speed transmission, tuneable suspension, good ground clearance, 2-up capability and able to run at h...ighway speed. Besides all that it's fun to drive...feels like a trials bike.
I've had mine a month...glad they're back! Read Full Review

Love it!

I purchased a used 2000 in 2002 and have enjoyed it ever since. Absolutely no problems, efficent, reliable, practical (can you tell that I'm an engineer?)--and so much fun! I just went out and got a new 2009 model even after checking out the competition. Except for the new color scheme, it's the ...same bike as my 2000. Why mess with success and a refined design. Build quality is great and I like the style. Engine is smooth with good power delivery. Spoke with other owners who love these great bikes as much as I do. With the special pricing, get one while you can. I hope that Kawi brings them back again as it looks like 2009 is the last year in the USA, at least for now. Read Full Review
