Kawasaki D-Tracker 125cc with dirt wheel conversion

About 60-70% of the time when you drop a trail riding bike, it seems to be due to how tall the bike is & because of something such as a rut, the bike's lean angle becomes so great that you don't have the leverage to lift it back up and you drop it.

My friend Saisuri brought her converted Kawasaki D-Tracker 125cc around the other day, seems like a very interesting idea. The 19" wheel conversion is around 5,000 Bht so the conversion is pretty cheap, will make a great single track scouting bike, super light.

Why convert a dtracker when you can get a 125 klx ready to go and better equipped (gearing, front suspensions, wheels)? Really don't get it...
 
For 5,000 bht for the set of dirt wheels, you have a motard and a trail riding bike for horrendous conditions, very cheap set-up is the carrot.

If you pick the klx for 0 extra baht you got a much better trail bike with better gearing and better suspensions.
For motard the dual sport tires are more than good enough for that small 125 engine.

Just my opinion.

Edit: actually one of the guys who rides with us some times has a 125 modified dtracker. He changed exhaust, front suspensions, gearing and wheels. It still far from being as good as a stock klx.
