The gap between minibike and full-sized machine has traditionally been a wide one. And for novices, making that jump can be difficult indeed. But now there’s a motorcycle that bridges the gap nicely – Kawasaki’s KLX™ 140L. Featuring 19 inch front and 16 inch rear wheels fitted to the standard spec KLX140, the L-model is the ideal machine for more experienced or longer-limbed fans of smaller displacement machines. And with its more performance-oriented, reservoir-equipped rear shock, there’s plenty of performance for everyone. As always, the standard KLX – with 17 inch front and 14 inch rear wheels – is a first-rate option for novices and smaller riders.
