\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I tell people why the Phoenix Valley area is the best place in the country to live, sure I can talk about the weather, sure I can mention affordability, absolutely I can talk about the various sporting outfits, but what I always wind up saying is “You can climb a mountain on your lunch break.”<\/p>\n

The Phoenix Valley area\u00a0is completely unique in this regard, with rugged desert play areas like Camelback and South Mountain only minutes from the downtown high rises, Phoenix offers a versatility of living not to be matched.\u00a0 I like to think that a vehicle should match a place.\u00a0 If you live in a dense urban area, a Vespa or smart car only makes sense.\u00a0 But what would best match the versatility of a city like Phoenix, a place that is both an urban metropolis AND an outdoor lovers paradise?\u00a0 My pick would be the 2011 Kawasaki KLX 250 S.<\/p>\n

The Kawasaki 250 S is a dual purpose sport bike, also called a dual sport, also called a dualie.\u00a0 What this means is that the 250 S is both a sort of dirt bike, but is also street legal for all roads and highways.\u00a0 This is where the versatility comes in.\u00a0 With the Kawasaki 250 S, not only can you climb mountains on your lunch break, but you can zip over and through them, off road or on.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model\u00a0Kawasaki at any Phoenix Valley area Kawasaki\u00a0dealership.\u00a0 Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should plan on attending the Phoenix Arizona International Auto Show to learn about the most recent concepts and innovations from the on\/off road biking wing, as well as the rest of the auto industry, taking place at the Phoenix Arizona Convention center over Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the Kawasaki 250 S, not only can you climb mountains on your lunch break, but you can zip over and through them, off road or on…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[12],"class_list":["post-1773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-car-reviews","tag-featured","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\nKawasaki 250 S Scales Mountains on Lunch Breaks<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"2011 Kawasaki 250 S Dual Purpose Sport Dualie Motorcycle Dirt Street Legal Bike On Off Road Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/kawasaki-250-s-scales-mountains-on-lunch-breaks\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kawasaki 250 S Scales Mountains on Lunch Breaks\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"2011 Kawasaki 250 S Dual Purpose Sport Dualie Motorcycle Dirt Street Legal Bike On Off Road Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/kawasaki-250-s-scales-mountains-on-lunch-breaks\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
