I've been looking at the KLX300 for a couple of years. Sold a bike I hardly ever rode anymore, so decided to sell it and get dual-sport bike. I've had a few non-street legal dirt bikes, but never a dual-sport. Decided to go traditional Kawasaki Green instead of the "Battle Gray" or "Cypher Camo Gray" colors ... they has too much black & gray for me. Also, with the green machine, it's much more visible which could be a good thing. They changed the body work (looks better IMO), went with black rims on the Green, and went with an LED headlight for 2024. The suspension feels pretty good right out of the box (it's adjustable too), and has 10.0 inches of travel up front (see last photo) and 9.1 inches of travel in the rear. The KLX300 of this design has been out since the 2021 model year, so any issues since then should be worked out, but from what I've read this bike has always been pretty trouble-free. A few photos ... I have a whole 88 miles so far (got it yesterday) and doing some break-in riding on the back roads. Transmission shift nice, haven't missed on gear yet, lol. Once broken in, it will be able to do 70-75 mph on the highway without getting crazy high in RPM if needed.
