its kawasakis third all time best sellin bike ...wow

why ??
its been in production since 1903
it dead cheap to buy
its simple ..like me carbs ect
its low
its easy to manage
its simple to maintain
its very robust

is it better than a xt ??

in a nutshell ...no

is it easier to manage off road than a xt for a average rider .. yes
prividing you do somthing with the suspension that is ..its total sh ite

any advantages over tyhe xt ?

very soft engine delivery .. much more tractable in the gears
much better to keep traction in proper slippy tracks
3rd will pull at 1500
4the at 2000
and 5th at
2500
standard gearing is much more tractable and much more usable off road

not as top heavy although it looks like a pig on stilts

carries heavy loads lower too

for a better more confident faster off road rider the xt has the thumbs up

enjoy your new bike

i have been allowed out to play ...


with standard suspension all this stupid tenty sh ite would be 3 inches off the rear wheel and the bike would be ubstable ..mable
