Kawasaki has released the 2026 domestic-market KLX230 DF, priced at ¥682,000 including tax. The new model joins the KLX230 lineup as a derivative based on the KLX230 Sherpa. Dimensions: 2,080 x 920 x 1,150mm (L x W x H), 1,365mm wheelbase, 845mm seat height, and 137kg curb weight.
Looking at the spec sheet, the fact that it's a derivative based on the KLX230 Shelpa is just irresistible. 137kg curb weight, 845mm seat height — that balance of numbers is spot on. Getting a bike like this domestically for 682,000 yen honestly feels like a real win.
