Title: KLX 250S
Post by: TJ on July 12, 2014, 01:50:06 PM

Anyone own one? Likes or dislikes? Been thinking of buying one to carry in a rack that slides inside the trailer hitch on our RV and it will also see duty running around once we park the RV as well as light dirt bike riding on our property in Tennessee.

I used to have a KLR250.  It was good for light duty dirt biking/trail riding. 
Easy to maneuver through the tight woods trails in NH.

The KLX is a clunky DS bike and not near as bullet proof as it is made out to be.  Look at weights to help you decide which bike to get, first for the hitch, second for your fun factor.  Consider a WR250, get it plated, and ride the snot out of it.
