The 1999 Kawasaki KLR250 dual-purpose motorcycle cuts a unique path in motorcycling. With its relative light weight and high maneuverability, it is an excellent mount for riding through congested city streets, but its long travel suspension and predictable power make it perfect for exploring those paths less traveled.

Powering this do-it-all motorcycle is a four-stroke single-cylinder engine. Dual overhead cams operate four valves in a compact combustion chamber to allow performance-enhancing compression ratios without detonation on today's pump gasolines. Double engine counterbalancers keep the powerplant running smoothly from idle to redline and an automatic cam chain tensioner keeps engine timing spot-on without maintenance.

Dual Purpose Made Simple

The 1999 KE100 fills an important niche as an entry-level dual-purpose machine. It has the required equipment for street riding such as lighting, turn signals and rear-view mirrors. And when the pavement ends, the universal tires give it the ability to take the operator down dirt roads and back trails that lead to favorite camping spots or other remote locations.

At 187 pounds, the KE100's light weight and seat height of less than 32 inches make it simple to ride and helps give new riders confidence. The light weight also makes it easy to load onto the bumper of a motorhome for quick and easy transportation to a campground or other destination.

The 99cc air-cooled two-stroke engine is dependable and easy to maintain.
