Thinking about pulling the trigger and scooping one up in the next couple of days. If you own one I'd love to hear complaints likes/dislikes. Thanks

Im bumping this!

I wanna buy one too, someone please tell us what you think of yours and post pictures. I'm torn between Kawi and Yamaha

I feel like probably 95% of non-2stroke Vital members ride 450s.

I got one..... I was honestly completely surprised with how good it is. You will not be disappointed in getting one.

Got one, very good bike. Only the stock plastics break very easily, especially around the radiator area.
Other than that no complaints so far Smile

I got one, awesome bike. I rode it back to back with a 17 YZ250F, and the yamaha definitely had a bit more bottom end, and I liked the forks a bit better on the blue bike. However I always revalve anyway, and the Kawi forks can be made to perform very well. I think the Kawi had a bit more mid-top end, and I like the ergonomics a bit better on it. The 250f is parked now though, I went all out and got a 450 too and since getting the suspension done I can't get off it!

This is my 2017 kx250f. I installed a Rocket pipe which helped throttle response and mid range power. I have a 2016 kx250f which I had a rocket performace do the eng which contributed to the power across all ranges. I am looking forward to them doing my 2017 to see what gains in performance I get. If it's like my 2016 I know I will be happy.

Three months later I can post in this thread. Got a 2017 KX250F three weeks ago.

The bike is great, but I am wondering if anyone company makes a graphic that matches the stock green where my boots/ knee pads seam to run. Stock Kawi plastic is very soft and scratches very easily.

A lot of graphic companies now offer a thicker grippy like graphic that doesn't wear what so ever I have some of it on my 2012 kx250f from decal mx and it hasn't worn much at all in 5 years I can't say if they make anything that extends that far back though
