Kawasaki KLX230 Dual sport

Testing off-road, on road and 0 to 60 times on a 2020 KLX230 dual sport. 0 to 60 times are best guess since the speedometer doesn't keep up on the GPS or bike. If the bike had a tach it would make it easier to get a more accurate time.
I sold the CRF450L and bought this to replace it. It fits my off-road riding style better. The bike has a very low 1st gear and a torquey engine that doesn't flame out or require a lot of clutch work. 99% of the time in slow technical stuff, I do not need to touch the clutch.
On road the bikes handles very well and will maintain 55 to 60 mph in moderate wind and grades.
I plan to do a more in depth review and comparison with the 450L and WR250r . Leave some questions in the comments you would like me to answer.

Nice video, wondering if you could let me know what front and rear sprockets are, mine are 14/45 and it is anything but good in tight stuff. It’s an s model so geared more for speed but I’m not doing freeways, I’m just guessing but you might be 13/48. That’d be my try but would be nice to know. Thanks

It's the stock gearing. Not sure what that is. My rear tire is the tall version of the Kenda K270. That gives me a taller final gear ratio over the stock low profile rear tire.

I’m looking at this or Honda 230 how do you like it? How much do you weigh? I am 205lbs mainly do trails but logging roads also, in PNW

I weigh 155 pounds. I like the bike. It works good in tight stuff and riding down dirt roads. It has a low 1st that doesn't need much clutch work which works well with the long stroke engine. The suspension is soft and I can bottom it riding at a faster pace. On road it will hold 60mph gps. Its rev limited to 71mph or 75 indicated. On road handling is good.
