Best to Buy.
The bike is great, looks, style, performance, speed... Overall it made me fan of it. I never got any problem with it, only maintanence is high cost... But its no problem at all cuz it gives that good performance. Theres no issue with bike, and its friendly on Indian roads too... But it just needs a big person to drive.

its a good choice for some one who like adventure
the kavasaki klx230 definitely is not for beginners it is very powerful and hard to control a experienced rider can only control it. in my opinion mileage is not a concern to dirt bike we are buying it for fun ride not to buy groceries who gave a concern for mileage in a such a beautiful piece of art. i like it

You must try
Good for off-road and looks little bit expensive but worth of money.The engine power is tamer than class leaders, which makes it a good choice for entry-level and novice riders. Be careful when rolling the bike out of the showroom, as the suspension may bottom out on the door sill. It's responsive make it favourite.
