2023 Kawasaki KLX 230 S Why a shorter ride height might be better for you! - In-depth Review!

The 2023 KLX 230 is now available with a lower ride height. While this makes the bike more approachable for shorter riders, it also might be the best version of this bike to choose for newer riders. In this video I review this new for 2023 model to see how it stacks up! Want to see this bike in person?

This was my first bike I’m 22 years old pretty tall and I love it the only thing that isn’t the greatest is the seat hurts your butt if your riding for awhile

I purchased mine November 2022. I love riding it. But at 70 I have some trouble throwing my leg over. Once on I'm okay. Being 300lbs I haven't tried stepping on the peg to get on because I feel that I might pull it over. So I've thought about lowering it. But not to many recommendation to do that. I'm not going to give up. 😊 Seeing the world on 2 wheels.

Great job presenting this bike, Peter 👍 Not really my thing, but my Ol'Lady likes these pretty much (exactly because of the benefits you mentioned) 👌

[@PeterLoweOne]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's not my first choice of bike, but there are a lot of off road trails, and dirt roads around me, and every now and then I have this idea that picking up one of these would be a lot of fun to go out and explore. Maybe someday.

I saw that ABS brakes is available on the KLX230S, but not on the KLX300. Is it something that you would recommend for a New Rider?

Hi... missed this. Long way 2nd!

[@sanjayg5780]

Hi Pete, thanks for the great video. I am first time rider with a height of 5'6" with big aspirations (travel the world) so would you recommend this bike or shorter reliable bike for ADV? Thanks again.

so i got a 230s for a deal but i dont want the downsides of the s, is the klx 230 and the s model the same forks different springs or completely different, and whats different about the rear

Awesome review. Problem is that many people are shorter than you even though the cc and weight is perfect to learn.

[@PeterLoweOne]

Yeah, I don't think that's a problem, I just think that's a fact. The fact is that the larger bike fits me well, so it's worth it for shorter riders to try this out and see if it fits them. I can only be who I am, but hopefully seeing me on this bike helps people get a sense, more than they would if they just read the Kawasaki website.

Tks. much.

Care to explain the Star Trek reference?

We will be back to Earth and will be 'Back in Time' in 3 months of your, time to witness the first Starship orbit. Just wait. 🙃

Why such a hard seat? This is a beginner bike and comfort is important I have the KLX300 dual sport and the stock seat feels great What’s great about a street legal dirtbike is its light weight and the Ergonomics upright riding feels great

[@PeterLoweOne]

The seat isn't terrible, but I think the narrowness of the bike requires a firm seat to carry the weight over a narrower area. I think this seat is on par with others in the class.
