It's a much higher quality bike than a KLX, and the KLX has many of its components made in China anyway. You're just paying for a name with the Kawi. The suspension alone is superior, fully adjustable front and rear, and the forks are, if I remember correctly, a knockoff of Showa Twin Chamber forks. It also effectively has a knockoff of a modern KTM frame, and all the parts are cheaper, too. The KLX simply can't compare.
