The '''' Kawasaki KL250 Super Sherpa '''' was introduced in 1997. For the Japanese market, the motorcycle received two modifications - with a high ('''' KL250-H '''') and a low front wing ('''' KL250-G ''' ), while in Europe only the high version was sold, which had more modern features. By 2000, the KL250-G modification had disappeared from the Japanese market, but for almost the entire period of the model's production it was available in the North American market.
