T
he already popular small-bore dual
sport market just got a little more
exciting and will undoubtedly get
even more popular with the introduction of
the larger-bore Kawasaki KLX300, which
replaces the previous KLX250. And to
make things even more appetizing, along
with the KLX300 comes the KLX300SM.
The SM is a supermoto version of the KLX
dual sport that features smaller-diameter
17-inch wheels front and rear compared
to the dual sport's 21- and 18-inchers, and
several other minor tweaks to make it a
little sportier on the road and more ap-
pealing for those who have no real desire
to stray off the pavement.
