Kawasaki KLX 150 S

This is the new Kawasaki products released in Indonesia on April. Just like its tagline. Light Trail, Delight Your Ways, this dual-purpose bike looks not really heavy if we compare it to other competitors. From its size, with 19" in front and 16" for rear, is very fit for Indoonesian posture. The design is as cool as KLX 250 S. But it has modern touch in the rear fender design. Which is duplicate from sport bike. The only thing is why they don't put the wavy discs on it

The New Kawasaki KLX 150 S Finally Appeared

This picture was scanned from Motor Plus weekly paper No. 527. After the two wheels consumers wait since The Jakarta Motor Show last year, finally The New Kawasaki KLX 150 S appeared. This bike is to complete the Kawasaki varians. After Ninja 250, KLX 250 S, Athlete 125, and the former Ninja 150 series and Blitz. If KLX 250 S sale in range IDR 50's millions in Indonesia, KLX 150 S is the cheap version. From the news, they probably sale in range IDR 20's millions.
In that range we had have Honda Mega Pro, Yamaha V-Ixion, Bajaj Pulsar 180, and TVS Apache for the lower price and we have Honda Tiger Revo, Yamaha Scorpio, Bajaj Pulsar 200 for the higher price range. All of them have the similarities in model, touring sport bike. KLX 150 S is different. It's just kind of an enduro. It's compatible to through Indonesian character street which has a lot of broken asphalt.
From the picture it looks like KLX 140 except it has head lamp, sign, rear lamp and back mirror. We can see also they difer in the disc brakes. If the American version they put wavy discs, but not this one. We have to glad for the rear fender design. It's not like KLX 250 S.
