Just my personal view it was ugly back then and nothing has changed.

to those that like it that’s awesome too

Again not knocking the bike in quality or handling or ability just going on its looks….. that would be like trying to polish a turd.

Impopular opinion, silver rims (In sone ocations) look better than Black rims

My first impression is I don't like it, but it will grow on me and I will like it down the road. If I don't like something it usually becomes real popular.  Cool

Go on Kawi, slap a two stroke in it...

Cool to see Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha turning out some good looking bikes again. Suzuki are turning out a pretty bike still. Not sure on the KTM. Obviously they're all good mechanically for the most part so we're in a pretty good spot.

This is how you do a good retro bike.

Can’t stand it when they half ass it like Yamaha did it with black rims.

kudos to Honda for the gold rims on their 50th and Kawasaki for using silver so it looks period correct.

Pretty funny I just picked up a new kawi 110 and was going to do some normal graphics and saw some retro kit from decal works that look basically identical. Bought that and a blue (albeit green side, but blue top) seat cover to go with it. Then this comes out! I think this throwback looks so good. If they sold a kx250fx with this I’d have a hard time not buying it. Then again it’s a stock bike and a graphics kit/seat cover away.

All the bikes in my garage are pretty much red, Honda’s and a Beta.  If I rolled a green bike in the garage I’d be dusted cause women might not be able to count.  But they ain’t color blind.  I’d be busted LOL.

Thats a good lookin scooter.  I want one………but I want one of everything so what’s new!

Best looking KX in years.  Not just the graphics.  I like the styling of the plastic a lot.

I saw some footage of practice round 3 SMX, the silver rims do look good.

Hands down, the best production retro bike I've seen. 

The Yammies just don't look quite right with their weird lines and bodywork, along with the black wheels - especially the 4 strokes.

The silver rims complete the look however once the plastics/graphics wear out and you go back to custom/normal graphics then then in my opinion the silver rims won't look as good.

These bikes look so good, whether on a stand or on the track. Super clean look.

That would look rad with Kashima inners.

This looks more like the 30th anniversary. 50th anniversary would be all green with black block lettering.

Yeah, I  wished my '90 had the blue tubes. Awesome bike.

Slap the blue anodized forks on it & we're really taking it back. What year was that anyway? 97? My buddy & cousin had one.

Hmm, graphics are a little simplistic. That’s all they could come up with? Mejor de nada, I guess 😏

Even more floro green plastic would really look great
