KLX300SM

The KLX300SM is the most affordable entry into supermoto at $5,849 — the KLX300's 292cc engine fitted with 17-inch street wheels in a 304-lb package with the most accessible seat height in the segment at 33.9 inches. The 292cc displacement limits sustained highway cruising above 65 mph; this is an urban canyon carver, not a cross-country machine.
