2002 Kawasaki KL 250 Super Sherpa

2002 Kawasaki Sherpa

This is my 3rd Kawasaki motorcycle. I bought this one used 3/18/2005 with 2444 miles on the odometer.
 
Odo
 

 
It is a four stroke, DOHC, four valve, one cylinder, air-cooled, 6-geared, dual-sport bike. This bike sits about 3 inches shorter than my old '90 Kawasaki KLR250.
 
Sherpa vs KLR
 

 
This 250 has plenty of power for the highway with a 210 pounder on it!
 
Milage varies widely depending on how far I fill the tank up.
I have gotten 60 - 72 MPG.
63 MPG seems about average over 4 tanks.
