Overview
The Kawasaki KL 250 Super Sherpa is a dual-sport motorcycle built for 2010. Its air-cooled, four-stroke 249 cm³ single has DOHC and four valves per cylinder, producing 26 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm; the motorcycle weighs 113 kg.
At 269 mm, ground clearance gives the bike room beneath it on rougher ground, while its 831 mm seat height can make reaching the ground harder for shorter riders. The 113 kg weight helps when maneuvering at low speeds, but the 9.1 L tank carries a limited amount of fuel for longer stretches.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low weight
At 113 kg, the KL 250 Super Sherpa is easier to maneuver at low speeds than a heavier motorcycle.
Generous ground clearance
The 269 mm ground clearance helps keep the underside clear when riding over uneven terrain.
Things to consider
Tall seat
The 831 mm seat height can make it difficult for shorter riders to put their feet down securely.
Limited fuel capacity
The 9.1 L tank holds a limited amount of fuel, so fuel stops may come sooner on longer rides.
