FS: M1030 Kawasaki 250 USMC motorcyle $2800

Post by DDTrustee » Sun Nov 01, 2020 8:25 am

This Kawasaki KSR 250 is for sale. Got in a multi-vehicle trade and I do not ride military bikes, just armor. So needs a home, my seller says he drove it around his ranch a few years ago and then I came into possession. I have not started it - can't do the starter pedal - but will guarantee the engine has no issue other than needing good gas. The BO light is missing and there is a bit of 100 mph tape on the front fender. Tan in color; decent tires….more photos for a request. Can deliver within 500 miles for fuel and meals....will deliver for free to PHOENIX on December 4 (SAR show at the Fairgrounds or to Chandler, AZ). Call fyv-05 tew-69 205-syx.

Hi, I am very interested. Please send more pictures. Does it have a data plate. The m1030 is a 350. So I am not sure the model is correct.. Thanks, Rob cell 914 382 5929 Email rrcassin@gmail.com

Yes... I have one. the 350.... USMC. I bought it for my son but it's too big for him. He is in the Marines so looking for the smaller version.

Looks just like the m1030 B1 which is the klr 650 cc petrol
I have one of each ie m1030 aka klr 250cc gas engine
M1030 B1 aka klr 650cc gas engine
M1030 M1 aka klr 611cc diesel
I thought I had one of each but you say you have a 350cc gas model do you know what military m number it is ?

I found this online: The initial KLR 250 model debuted in 1984 and was succeeded by the KLR 250-D8 in 1991. The KLR 250 series itself has been replaced by the Kawasaki KLR 650 models - marked as M1030 B1 in the U.S. military inventory.

So I guess the official model for the 250 is Kawasaki KLR 250-D8 . Does it have a data plate?

So you say you're one is a 350 cc but the data plate still gives it as a M1030B1? Which is the us model number for the 650cc gas?
Is there something on the engine that is indercating to you that it is a 350cc gas engine?

Ok... I see where I went wrong. There is no 350 Kawasaki used by the USA military . i don't even think they make a 350. I made a mistake when I said 350. Should of been 650...

There was me thinking that there was a model I did not know about or have!
The M1030 250cc gas version is a lot better if you need a lower seat height and a lighter bike ,took it and the m1030b1 650cc on the nc500 round the Scottish cost at no time did it lag behind the 650 ,you do change gear more often which is to be expected and is kick start only.
Plus the 250 is easier to manhandle in and out of trucks.
