What’s the legal speed for a Kawasaki KL 250?
Third, fourth and fifth gears were widely spaced and, if anything, the KL250 was overgeared in the top ratio, which stopped the motor being revved to its limit and gave a happy cruising speed of around the legal 70mph. From 2000 to 4000rpm, the motor slogged like a typical four-stroke single with every firing stroke pulsating through the machine.
Which is better a Kawasaki KL 250 or Maico?
CCM boss Alan Clews once told me that his 500cc BSA-based moto cross machines produced over 20lb-ft of torque at 2,000rpm compared with the two stroke 400cc Maico’s lowly 4lb-ft at the same revs. Of course, the Maico’s more powerful and faster higher in the rev range but only an ace rider can use it.

What kind of engine does a Kawasaki KL have?
roller and ball bearings, with a caged roller bearing for the connecting-rod big-end. Vibratory but powerful, the KL’s engine put out 17.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm, sufficient for 60mph cruising by road and giving plenty of power in not-too-demanding crosscountry work.
