74 ponies with a stock exhaust? It's also got the stock wheels, suspension, triple clamps ect. I'd say it's not legit. Just someone making up a story trying to get $1,000 more than their bike is worth.

Looks like PC Kawi graphics on a 450. Also, if you look at the second picture, it looks like the rear tire and fender are a little off. Might mean sub-frame damage.

Totally legit bro. Also, not sure of your cash assets, but I'm a big time investor in Las Vegas and I have a once in a lifetime opportunity on solar energy here in my area. Guaranteed 1000% ROI. Operators are standing by. Dont let federal regulations pass you by, opportunities in waters rights, natural gas and more available. Remember, he who hesitates, masturbates, do be left holding your bag, ACT NOW!

My 250f made more power on the dyno with the stock exhaust.

With that being said, that 450 is not a factory bike ha. If it has an AMA tech sticker on it, it was probably raced at an am national.

The Holographic is a dead giveaway of a pro bike. Just like trading cards holo means its more rare

Any graphics company should be able to set you up with hollowgraphic graphics. As the ad states, you can only get them if you are on a factory team. Just scan your factory team card and send it in, good to go.

I don't know about the entire bike but I believe the subframe is factory, however I think it may be a 2008 take off from James Stewarts SX bike not a 2010.

I'm glad the bike has cams in it. It'd be hard to make 74 hp without those. Lol....

I think he's running those 3/4 cams. Man, those always made cars go faster, and heavy hot rod in high school was running a 3/4 cam.Laughing

Can't hep ya there.
I can "pro AMA stamps on graphics and frame". Crate a bike up and send it to me, I have my own stamps, there certified to. Cost about three-fity.
(be sure to include a check for return freight)

well it was about that time that I notice that graphics designer was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic era!

You guys are nuts. It has bark busters. Everybody knows that all the factory guys use bark busters. That's clearly RV's old bike!!

It might have been "promotional" bike that someone won, but not a factory bike from the team. A lot of local moto shops build these for races as give aways for contest. They put graphics and a few flashy parts to make them look official. Then someone add bark busters and pro billet spark arrestor tip on exhaust to trail ride it.

Everyone agree on this assessment?

I'd say the fact that it has progressive suspension and blue radiator hoses is absolute confirmation of the provenance of the KX.

Oh, and the air bleeders that are buttons. Absolutely Factory-only parts.

You never wanted to mess with anyone who had THE big V8 with 3/4 race cams .
