In the 2012 entry to middle class of "Dual Purpose" Kawasaki motorcycles line-up, Kawasaki offered the 2012 Kawasaki KLX250S and KLX250SF edition, in the top level Kawasaki also released the KLR650 but there is none Kawasaki dual purpose with the engine below of 250cc capacity, so you can get the 250cc only and up. As you know, with the Kawasaki KLX label means that you can ride the bike in the dirt way area, it's not only a city ride but it's also mountain bike ride. There is 2 series of KLX250, the S edition and also the SF edition, both of bikes uses the same engine but there is also some different things between KLX250S and KLX250SF, I will try to write more about it but today let talk first about the 2012 Kawasaki KLX250S edition. On road and Off road, this is the key advantages of KLX motorcycles and I love it so much, well, with the 250cc DOCH single cylinder engine, I know that 2012 Kawasaki KLX250S bike can't head to head with another 250cc Twin-Cylinder Kawasaki bikes like 2012 Ninja 250R, the performance of Ninja on the road will better, but wait, if if comparing it in the off road way, the KLX250S is absolutely better, this is the key of KLX250S. In 2012, Kawasaki motorcycles actually offered many of off road bikes with small engine capacity like 2012 KLX140 series, but it's not Dual Purpose, it has been made special for off road only. So, there is no other way to get a multifunction motorcycles, just buy the KLX250S, KLX250SF or also KLR650 series.
