Meet Kermit: The Green Trail Master
Model: Kawasaki KLX250 (Final Edition)
Don’t let the friendly name fool you—Kermit is the most aggressive explorer in our fleet. Dressed in iconic Kawasaki racing green with the "Final Edition" throwback graphics, this isn't a bike for the casual commuter. It is a purpose-built dual-sport machine designed for the rider who treats the end of the pavement as the beginning of the adventure.
The Soul of a Pure Dual-Sport
Kermit is built on a legacy of off-road dominance, offering a raw, connected riding experience that heavy adventure bikes simply cannot match:
Snappy Throttle Response: Featuring a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 249cc engine, Kermit delivers immediate power. Whether you’re lofting the front wheel over a drainage rut or powering out of a muddy switchback, he responds instantly.
The "Final Edition" Heritage: As one of the last true lightweight 250cc dual-sports ever made, Kermit features the classic lime green frame and retro-inspired KLX shroud graphics that command respect at every mountain trailhead.
Dominance Where the Road Ends
Kermit thrives on the technical "Secret Japan" routes that other bikes avoid:
Long-Travel Suspension: Equipped with 43mm inverted front forks and a Uni-Trak rear shock, Kermit soaks up rocks, roots, and river crossings. It is the plushest ride in our lineup for rough, unpaved terrain.
Featherweight Agility: At only 136kg, Kermit is the lightest bike we offer. If you find yourself on a narrow, crumbling ledge in the Iya Valley, his flickable nature and slim profile give you the confidence to navigate with precision.
Massive Ground Clearance: With 285mm of clearance, you won't be worrying about scraping your engine on the rugged paths of the Mt. Tsurugi Super Forest Road.
Why Choose Kermit?
Kermit is for the purist. He’s for the rider who wants to see the emerald rivers from the bank, not the bridge. If you plan on exploring the unpaved "Secret Japan," there is no better tool than this green machine.
It’s not easy being green—unless you’re Kermit. Are you ready to get dirty?
