I just got my daughter a 07 and all I can say is wow what a great bike. We picked up the bike wed and went right to the track. She has been racing a 05 yz 125 and done very well with it. Finishing top6 over all in the Florida gold cup series in the last 3 races. She rode the kx wed and had faster lap times right away. I rode it and the pull off the bottom is great, the suspension is plush and it will flat out carve a turn. I am loyal to Yamaha but I think they are a little behind this bike.Kawasaki did their home work and hit a home run with this one. I hope the reliability is there like the yami and I will have no complaints. The other great thing is Kawasaki's contingency money it's the best program out there. They are definitely giving back to the sport, I think that speaks volumes. Please don't tell my Yamaha buddies I posted this that would be bad.
