    Now that has an interesting sound to it, problem is my area has so few. Lots of 83-85..I cant recall seeing a 86-87!

    If you can find a Kawi Klt185 buy it! not only are they rare (more like highly uncommon) there the essence of the words, sport utility.....at least from my point of view.

    Very fast on 5 gear for it's bore size and I've towed 500pound load with it in first gear......Did I mention it's just as reliable as those "hondas" <_< and shaft driven

    Just get a 200x and put a 200s engine in the 200x. That way you have no clutch and it will be a 200s with front and back suspension. The mounts to the engine are the same although I think you would have to customize the foot pegs so the engine will fit but I'm not sure.

    The klt110's are nice, but they have a weak shifter shaft. The tube frame was way nicer than hondas' 90/110 stamped steel frame. Some parts are the same between the honda and the kawasaki, believe it or not. Some parts are still available from the dealer and others are really super hard to find. They came in red and in black. The years for the klt110 are 84, 85 and 86 and there are subtle differences between the years if you must have exactly like original.

    I see 2 or 3 90/110's around as package deals all the time for cheap.

    If you have the room, 2 or 3 revivable little ones would be my choice
    since they can share parts and they stack so easily in the truck so everyone can ride together.
