The professional seller offers for sale this 1980 Kawasaki KE125, powered by a 124 cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine. Presented in red with the classic Kawasaki tri-colour stripes on the tank, KE 125 side covers, a black Kawasaki-branded seat and a high-mounted exhaust, this KE125 captures the spirit of the versatile Japanese trail bike. The odometer indicates 2,194 miles. It is equipped as a true dual-purpose machine, with headlight, indicators, rear light, speedometer, rear rack, spoked wheels and off-road tyres. The paint and plastics show visible signs of age and use, consistent with the seller’s assessment, and the bike offers a solid basis for a sympathetic refresh. According to the seller, the KE125 will need to be recommissioned before use, making it an attractive project for an enthusiast who appreciates honest, original-looking trail bikes. It is supplied with its Canadian papers, and the seller confirms that all import duties and VAT have already been paid.
The KE125 belongs to Kawasaki’s long-running family of dual-purpose trail bikes, which offered riders a single machine that could handle the daily commute during the week and dirt roads and forest trails at the weekend. Powered by Kawasaki’s rotary-valve two-stroke single, the KE125 was known for its willing character, simple mechanics and robust construction, and it remained in production in various forms for many years. Its combination of light weight, road-legal equipment and genuine off-road ability made it popular with young riders, farmers, commuters and adventurers alike. Today, these honest trail bikes of the late seventies and early eighties are enjoying a well-deserved revival among collectors and vintage enduro enthusiasts, who appreciate their period styling, ease of maintenance and the fun they deliver both on and off the road.
