The powertrain

The three KLX140R models share the same four-stroke SOHC air-cooled single-cylinder with 11 hp and 12 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The block is mated to an electric starter and close ratio five-speed manual clutch transmission.

The lack of radiators gives the KLX140R a slim profile that allows riders to quickly find a good riding position. Also present are hydraulic disc brakes front and rear.

Roadworthy, the KLX140R weighs just 95 kilograms. You could almost lift it with two hands.
