I recently sang Kawasaki's praises for making such an affordable and fun KLX range for 2025. But personal watercraft (PWC) is not an industry that screams "affordability". However, if you want to get out on the water on a full-fat Jet Ski, Kawasaki's STX 160 Series means you don't have to break the bank.
And for 2025, the lineup received some tasty updates.
The range consists of the STX 160X and flagship Jet Ski STXR 160LX models, all of which are powered by a DOHC, 16-valve, parallel 4-cylinder 1498cc engine. The entry-level Jet Ski uses a balanced hull and ergonomic riding position, all of which should make it easier to get on with for those who are newer to PWCs.
