2010 Kawasaki KLX110, 110L: now for big kids

Research showed that more adults than kids rode the old KLX110, so the 2010 Kawasaki KLX110L has been designed with larger riders in mind. That means a 2-inch higher seat thanks to a fork that's 2.4 inches taller and a shock with 5.2 inches of travel. Those suspension components also receive revised spring and damper settings to better accommodate beefy adults. That leaves the 2010 Kawasaki KLX110 to better focus on kids, with an automatic centrifugal clutch that'll free up young minds to concentrate on using the gears and avoiding trees. Both models benefit from electric start, a new 4-speed gearbox (up from 3) and a stronger 111cc four-stroke engine kicking out 15-percent more power and torque. Full specs below. >
