HIGHLY CAPABLE TRAIL BIKE FOR OFF-ROADING!! - Kawasaki
Information
The KLX230R S model debuted last year, and is built on the same foundation as its KLX230R brother, with the same updated 233cc engine, tank, and ergonomic and styling revisions this year as well. As with Kawasaki’s other “S” marked models, the only difference is in the seat height and some of the related suspension component travel. On the S, you sit just 34.4 inches off the ground, with the handlebar and footpeg locations also revised to match the new seat (as with the straight 230R). That makes for a shorter suspension travel of 8.7 inches at the fork, and 8.8 inches of stroke at the rear Uni Trak shock. - Motorcyclist
