Dougarider spotlighted YouTube footage from USA Military Channel showing the US Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) fielding small Kawasaki off-road motorcycles, the KLX110 and KLX140. The bikes carry reinforced suspension components to handle added load, giving AFSOC operators mobility for missions such as scouting landing zones and rapidly setting up temporary runways.

Have you seen this video yet? (lol) It's from USA Military Channel, and bikes taking the lead role in a military VLOG is rare enough to get me excited! KLX110 and KLX140 scouting landing zones and setting up runways — I don't know the mechanical stuff, but visually it's incredible. Bet the overseas comments are going wild too!

I don't know the difference between the KLX110 and 140, someone explain?

Can you really tell how it's operated just from footage though?

Kinda proud that special forces pick a Kawasaki, honestly.

That light weight and good fuel economy on the KLX140 make it practical for civilians too.

Only the KLX140's suspension is beefed up — makes me wonder how much load it can actually carry.

Using it to set up temporary runways is such a military-specific idea. Basically a different animal from the civilian KLX.
