Here's a 1985 2 page advertisement for a Kawasaki KLR250.
The Kawasaki KLR 250 was manufactured from 1984 to 2005, and sold along side the larger, and more popular, KLR 650 when it first appeared in 1987. The KLR 250 is powered by a liquid cooled 249cc single cylinder engine with 4 valves and DOHC's. Engine power was transferred through a 6 speed manual transmission and chain final drive. Just like the larger KLR 650, the KLR 250 is a dual sport motorcycle meaning it is designed to be ridden on and off road.
The KLR250 was discontinued in 2005, and was never produced again. However, Kawasaki did manufacture the KLX250S in 2009, which is a very similar motorcycle, and is still in production today as a larger 300 model.
You might think the KLR250 is less fun than larger dual sport motorcycles, but you would be wrong. In a lot of situations its the smaller displacement motorcycles that are more fun to ride.
