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.

KAWASAKI D-TRACKER 2009

This is it! The brand new product from Kawasaki. PT. KMI (Kawasaki Motor Indonesia) plans to release Kawasaki D-Tracker 2009 this year. It seems serous because they displayed this bike on the Jakarta Motor Show last year with a new dirt bike, the cheap version of KLX 250 S, a KLX 150 S.
D-Tracker and KLX 250 basically are same. The differences are only in tires, front fork (D-Tracker has shorter fork), front disc brake, back mirror, and may be the final gear for D-Tracker which is smaller.
