This is an excellent dual purpose motorcycle, aimed more towards road use but the low seat height and centre of gravity make it excellent for steep off road work.
Very soft suspension from the factory, but rear shock is fully adjustable for preload and rebound (although rebound adjustments unfortunatley require removal of the shock). I'd suggest new fork springs and heavier fork oil would improve dive in the front under brakes.

The '''[[Kawasaki]] Super Sherpa''' was a single cylinder, [[four-stroke]] standard produced by [[Kawasaki]] between 2000 and 2010. 
==Engine==
A 72.0mm [[bore]] x 61.2mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 249.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 90/21-.21 front [[tire]] and a 130/18-.17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  36mm telescopic fork / 9.1 in. while the rear was equipped with a uni-trak single shock system adjustable preload and 20-way rebound damping adjustability / 7.3 in.. The Super Sherpa was fitted with a 2.4 Gallon (9.08 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 54.09 inches (1374 mm) long.
