Kawasaki KLX 300 unveiled
So now also Kawasaki has upgraded their 250 dual sport into 300 cc. They promise good low and mid end torque and no weight gain. No power numbers out yet though...
No bigger gas tank and a bit outdated dash it seems to me. But all in all its a great upgrade for us who likes the smaller dual sport bikes.

It looks good, and good weight at 302 pounds! "More" power than the 250 is a good thing, because it really needed it. Be interesting to see the reviews!

A move matched for Honda releasing news of THAI CRF 300 L & CRF 300 Rallies then - which no doubt will come to more markets around the world.
Getting closer to that 450 DS a lot of folks want that doesn't have service maintenance in the hours and has a stock tank large enough to get 300km plus. Looking at you Honda CRF 450 Rally..or you Yamaha WR450R..

Actually I rather like the KLX300SM 'Supermoto' they also announced. I think it's rather fetching; I could see owning one.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
