STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIT PALMER
S
o, you just taught your young son or
daughter (girlfriend or wife, brother
or sister, or just somebody new to
motorcycling) how to ride a dirt bike. Now
what? Point little Johnny off into the open
desert and say, "have fun?" No, you can't
do that. You need to follow along and
make sure everything goes well, and if at
times it doesn't, you're right there to bail
him out, get him pointed in the right direc-
tion again and send him on his way again.
Question now is; what do you ride to do
this? Your KX450F? A bit overkill, don't ya
think? Plus, no kickstand or e-start, what a
hassle! How about something a little more
like what they're riding? Something small,
mellow, light and ultra user-friendly, and
with an electric start and kickstand.
If you're a Kawasaki family, there is a
good chance that your off-road newbie is
already on a KLX110, or maybe a KLX140
or 140L, but you need something a little
bigger to fit your own adult or full-size
frame. That's where the all-new 2017
KLX140G comes into play.
