A legit bike for young off-roaders, the 2009
KLX140 one-ups the competition on every
level. Disc brakes, advanced suspension and
a box-section steel perimeter frame provide
excellent handling on rough terrain. The KLX140L
incorporates the same advanced features as
the KLX140, but we added larger tires, modified
the suspension and installed a special remote
reservoir rear shock for larger riders.
