A business-use bike that mounted the same OHC twin engine as the CM125T. It came with practical equipment, such as leg shields that protected the riders' feet from rain.
It came in two seat types. One was the standard double seat, and the other was the tandem seat (10,000 yen more expensive) whose rear seat turned into a large carrier when taken off.
It was the 125cc version of the ELIMINATOR series. It was the first KAWASAKI bike to adopt an air-cooled 4-stroke single cylinder engine and a 5-speed transmission.
The engine was geared to mid-low speed range in order to raise its torque. It underwent a full model change and adopted a mono-cross suspension and a rear disc brake.
During the course of the trekking bike boom, this DJEBEL was developed to become a casual city commuter bike. It mounted a GS125E-based air-cooled single cylinder engine.
Though the sales of its series model, 200R, had been discontinued in accordance with the arrival of the SL, this bike remained to keep its concept. It enhanced its off-road image by raising the seat height, but its design was out of date.
The power characteristics were flat and easy to handle. It was the smallest type of the XT series model which adopted a cantilever type mono-cross suspension that had a square cross section swing arm.
