2027 Kawasaki Klx 230sm Abs

Seller Description

Meet the 2027 Kawasaki KLX230 SM ABS in a supermoto with just the right mix of street swagger and take the fun way home attitude. It s the kind of bike that looks ready to carve up city corners, then casually detour down a sketchy back road just because you felt like it. And in this bold finish, it doesn t exactly blend into traffic perfect for riders who prefer their commute with a side of personality.At the heart of it all is a 233cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke that keeps things simple, light, and responsive. With 17 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 13.3 ft-lbs of torque at 6,400 rpm, it s tuned for that lively, usable pull that makes quick runs through town and twisty backroads feel effortless. Fuel injection (32mm Keihin) means crisp throttle response, and it s happy sipping regular gas while meeting CARB 2008 emissions standards nice and practical without killing the vibe.A 6-speed manual transmission and chain final drive give you the control to ride it how you want short-shift and cruise, or let it sing a bit when the road opens up. The steel frame and compact dimensions (80.1 inches long with a 53.7-inch wheelbase) help it feel nimble, while 8.7 inches of ground clearance keeps you from stressing over surprise pavement changes and rougher routes.Up front, a 37mm inverted fork with 7.4 inches of travel helps keep things planted, and out back the UNI-TRAK rear suspension delivers 8.8 inches of travel with adjustable spring preload and rebound damping so you can fine-tune the feel. The 17-inch aluminum wheels wear IRC RX-01 Road Winner tires (110/70-17 front, 120/70-17 rear), a street-focused setup that matches the SM mission perfectly.Braking is handled by hydraulic discs 300mm up front with a 2-piston caliper and 220mm in the rear backing up the bike s confidence when the pace picks up. Add in a one-piece vinyl seat with room for two, LED lighting, a fuel gauge, and even mobile app instrumentation, and you ve got a modern ride that s as fun to live with as it is to ride.
