1999 - 2010 Kawasaki KL 250 Super Sherpa
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.
