Kawasaki introduced the Kawasaki KLX230, which retails for Rs 3.30 lakh (ex-showroom, India) (est. $3,871). It’s the most expensive dual-sport motorcycle available on Indian roads right now.
Kawasaki KLX230: Features and Launch Details
A 233cc air-cooled motor that generates 18.3Nm at 6,400 rpm and 18.1hp at 8,000 rpm powers the KLX230. The bike has a tiny fuel tank capacity of only 7.6 liters and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. It has a mono-shock with 250mm of travel at the back and a 37mm telescopic fork with 240mm at the front.
Kawasaki KLX230 comes with a monochromatic LCD with Bluetooth. Furthermore, it has dual-channel ABS. With a 139 kg curb weight and an 880mm tall seat, the KLX230 is comparatively light. However, the company provides an optional lower seat for shorter riders.

At present, the Hero Xpulse 200 4V and Xpulse 200 4V Pro, which retail for Rs 1.51 lakh(est. $1771) and Rs 1.64 lakh(est. $1923), respectively, are competitors of the KLX230. Because of this, the Kawasaki KLX230 is twice as costly.
Although the KLX230 is unquestionably powerful, its cost and restricted service network should present difficulties.
