Hey everyone, I've been wanting to do a video like this for a while because I've been getting a lot of feedback from riders looking to buy a supermoto or the klx300sm. I feel like a lot of riders want smaller bikes like this for commuting and they're honestly great for it, light, nimble, gas sipping, and just a joy to ride. Thank you all for tuning in, have a great weekend! =)

Will let you know later. Finally got my bike and going to pick it up next month. When i get it i am going to take my time learning to ride it in a big ass empty parking lot. Once I do that I will commute everyday. Take in the elements. Im in NM. From SoCal. Thats where my bike is for now. But yea man I cant wait to ride my baby. 13' zx6r 636 😁

I think for me, I just find it easier to get around and you kind of have fun while doing it. I feel like driving in a car is so much of a chore but riding to get places makes it fun.

Biggest pro = FUN! Especially if you have a desk job. Start and end the day feeling pumped. Biggest con = TIME. Takes extra time to gear up/down and cover/uncover the bike. ❤❤❤

I got a high-performance electric bike couple years ago, it made me realize i love riding a motor/bike, I now upgraded to a honda ruckus, my next level will be the Yamaha zuma 125 to match with the ruck for me and my family for fun around town, but after the Yamaha zuma I plan on getting a regular grared bike, i would never ever want only a geared bike in city stop and go, but when i level up next season I honestly want the klx300 sumo, looks like a hell of alot of fun But i honestly believe, especially for city folk , gotta have a scooter, shifting gears, no matter how second nature, in city is a real chore, i want sit back and relax driving in traffic and stop lights, listen to the music not worrying about stalling or thinking about what gear iam in for what situations, these guys who talk nonsense on scooter riders, they just don't get it, same guys will talk nonsense about your bike, will talk about your clothes, shoes, food, car, music ect..i see a guy laugh at me on my ruckus, and I truly laugh with them if that's all it is!!

Had my motorcycle for a few weeks now klx And I’ve found that the gear especially helmet and jacket gloves are a pain in the @ass to lug around alone with a backpack. Also first day I took it to the store I found somebody trying to steal my bike, or they were messing around with the wires.

Well. best to not have any wounds that need salting.... lol, your old age is showing w/ the common sense approach that you're sharing here & ya know what? You're right ! Speed is involved in over 90% of all bike wrecks so I imagine this KLX is kinda good for keeping speeds down somewhat? I'm actually looking at dual sport below 350cc & this is a top contender in my research. I like what you've done to this one & I like it having 6 speed transmission. I didn't know Kawasaki offered a super-moto bike so how does it compare to the regular KLX 300 Dual Sport or is it pretty much the same thing w/ different tires? The KLX 300 is in my top 3 choices sp thanks for the POV ~ peace

@SALTxTHExWOUND
@SALTxTHExWOUND 2 жыл бұрын
Hey man, thank you! I chose the 300 mostly bc it’s much more updated than the DRZ. It’s fuel injected and also has a rpm gauge which I really like. The DRZ has the power but it’s 20+ year old technology. The 300 hits around 100mph which is good enough for me as a second bike 🙌🏻

It’s really going to depend on your environment and mileage if it’s worth it imo. I have some very dangerous and congested roads that I ride on and that’s the biggest downside for me. I don’t let that stop me, but it’s still always in the back of my mind.

Also I threw knobbies on mine so i can play in the woods a little bit. What I really want though on this thing if i can get it are Anakee wilds as they give you some good traction in dirt and really good traction on road. it's a 50/50. I know a few people that use them on other bikes and from the sounds of it, they seems more like a 60 dirt / 90 road tire. Apparently they are really good tires!

I think it's important to have life insurance! it's really not that much. I just think if your man enough or responsible enough for a bike and god forbid anything happen bad enough that you get killed.. your not being such a financial burden on your family. it's a responsible thing we all should do in life as adults. but usually don't worry about it until we're a little older.. this changes things!! think about it
