Could we see a 2025 KX 450 SR? Maybe even a 250 SR?

25’ SR could be a great look with Prado and Anderson at the helm!

Last Friday at Pala there was a crew from Kawasaki all riding bikes with Anderson plates on them but there was atleast one in particular that was covered in black tape that I saw a couple different riders on.  Didn’t look too close as I just figured they were 25’s. Could have been SR’s or not…

Those were 2025 KX250s they were breaking in for the intro in about two weeks.

Yes, there will be 2025 SRs. I'm 95% sure there is not only a 450 SR, but a 250 SR this year. They will be 2025 models.

Second time I saw them there.  Some fast dudes in that bunch.

I was hoping that Kawasaki would get on the 250SR train with the CRF250 getting the treatment this year, but never actually expected it. 

I was planning on holding out for the ‘25 KX250, but the rebates have been sooooo tempting on the ‘24 KX450. 

This announcement would throw a HUGE wrench in those plans & motivate me to hold out for the 250SR in all its glory!

Michael, you are usually spot on with predictions. At least you gave yourself a 5% exit.

I am curious to see what Showa forks actually wind up on the 250. 

The initial press release every media outlet posted stated they’d have 48mm Showas, and now the Kawasaki website says 49mm. Doesn’t change my life either way, just curious.

49mm.  The initial report of 48 was incorrect.  Kawi sight now lists 49.

I was in the same boat, waiting for a 25 250 but $6999 for a 24 450 was enough to sway me.

My sales manager just showed me the sheet on new releases. No 250 SR but definitely the 450 pictured above is what I just saw too.

Amazing, the thing that makes the most difference is not coming with the stock muffler.
