Kawasaki KLX450R Overview

The KLX450R is aimed at riders who want a machine for rough-terrain outings, not a practical daily commuter. Its 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, 315mm ground clearance and adjustable suspension suit that purpose. The 126kg kerb weight is relatively low, while the 935mm seat is very tall for many riders. An 8-litre tank and no pillion seat also limit its appeal for longer trips or two-up use.

It is priced at the same level as the KTM 250 SX-F and below the Kawasaki KX450. Against the KTM, the KLX450R is heavier but has a lower seat; the KX450 is lighter and has more ground clearance. Its 250mm front and 240mm rear discs provide braking at both wheels, but the sparse instrumentation includes no fuel gauge, and no ABS is listed. This is a specialised choice rather than an all-rounder.

  • 126kg kerb weight keeps the bike relatively light to handle.
  • 315mm ground clearance helps clear obstacles on rough terrain.
  • Adjustable front and rear suspension lets riders tune damping.
  • 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels suit off-road use.
  • Kick and self-start options offer two ways to start the engine.

What we like

  • High ground clearance for rough-terrain riding.
  • Adjustable damping at both ends.
  • Relatively low 126kg kerb weight.
  • Front and rear disc brakes.

What could be better

  • The 935mm seat height may challenge shorter riders.
  • The 8-litre tank is small for longer outings.
  • No pillion seat limits two-up use.
  • No fuel gauge or ABS is listed.

Best for: Buy the KLX450R if you want a specialised off-road bike and do not need a pillion seat or everyday practicality.
