Character	A playful, nimble small-bore supermoto that rewards aggressive lean angles and quick direction changes over long highway stints.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking high top speed, long-distance touring comfort, or serious off-road capability.

At 861mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with tip-toe one foot on the 2021 Kawasaki KLX300 SM, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.
