The highly anticipated 2022 Kawasaki Motorcycle Dual Sport Series KLX 230 SE has finally arrived and, quite frankly, it has more than lived up to the hype. Aesthetic meets prowess in this beauty, drenched in special edition color and graphics, its well-crafted design exuding a breathtaking level of sophistication. But the power this beast packs goes far beyond just its appearance.
The bike has a robust 233cc fuel-injected, air-cooled 4-stroke engine that delivers unparalleled performance, even in the most extreme conditions. The engine features a displacement of 233cc with the bore and stroke being 67.0 x 66.0mm and the compression ratio of 9.4:1, indicating that the power output won't disappoint riders. Supporting its sturdy engine is the DFI with 32mm Keihin throttle body and a TCBI Electronic Advance ignition system. Its transmission offers 6 speed levels with return shift and a reliable wet multi-disc manual clutch, assuring one of a serene ride. Finally, with a chain for the final drive, all the power is used to utmost efficiency.
One of the most striking features of this Kawasaki model is its dual-sport capability. This means it is engineered for both off-road and on-road uses, thus providing immense versatility whether you wish to tear through city streets or explore unpaved paths. This is further enhanced by long-travel suspension, ensuring maximum comfort in all terrains.
The bike features a sturdy high-tensile steel perimeter frame with black anodized rims, offering strength and durability along with excellent handling. The Kawasaki KLX 230 SE is not just all power and reliability but also prioritizes rider's comfort, evident in the frame covers and the tapered handlebar. With full-sized wheels, the ride promises stability in diverse terrains, with its hand guards ensuring extra safety.
Furthermore, the chassis stands out with its capability of enduring rough terrains. The front suspension features a 37mm telescopic fork with an 8.7-inch wheel travel, while the rear features a Uni-Trak linkage system and single shock with an adjustable spring preload and an 8.8-inch wheel travel, ensuring smooth ride experience regardless of the road conditions.
Braking is made efficient with single 240mm petal disc with a dual-piston caliper at the front and single 220mm petal disc with single-piston caliper at the rear. It's all been thought of: urban olive green color, high ground clearance of 8.3 inches, comfortable seat height of 32.7 inches; even the fuel capacity of 2.0 gal has been optimized. Weighing at 297.7 lb, this motorcycle is quite nimble for its power range.
This Kawasaki Motorcycle Dual Sport Series KLX 230 SE 2022 being priced at an MSRP of $4999 and invoice price of $4399, one might think it's an extravagant purchase. But with all these features bundled into one, this motorcycle is truly value for your money.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
