The '''Kawasaki KLR250''' was a [[motorcycle]] produced from 1984 to 2005, with only minor changes during the model run. This lightweight dualsport motorcycle was used for several years by the US military for a variety of tasks, including messenger duty and reconnaissance. It was produced by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan and exported to many parts of the world, including the U.S. and Canada, Europe and Australia. | The '''Kawasaki KLR250''' was a [[motorcycle]] produced from 1984 to 2005, with only minor changes during the model run.

Somewhat similar in appearance to the larger [[Kawasaki KLR650|KLR650]] (sold in the same colors), the 250 is often described as being a better trail bike (due to lighter weight and reduced bulk) but less enjoyable on long stretches of highway. The user-friendly power delivery and light weight make it a popular bike for novice riders. Like the 650, the KLR250 has continued to sell well into the 21st century despite being questionably "state of the art" even at its introduction, and having no styling changes, except paint and the color of the plastic. You can tell approximately what year a KLR is (either size) by the color of the bodywork: | Somewhat similar in appearance to the larger [[Kawasaki KLR650|KLR650]] (sold in the same colors), the 250 is often described as being a better trail bike (due to lighter weight and reduced bulk) but less enjoyable on long stretches of highway.
