Baby steps😃
I never felt comfortable on the last generation of KX 2 strokes. The ergo's felt awkward to me. The 2016 KX450 was great.
I put some laps on my ‘04 at the track last weekend and you ain’t kidding. Way more work and talent required to go fast. My talent is minimal and I am waaaaay old for this. Had a blast just the same! It would be awesome to see Kawasaki come out with a budget friendly platform!

This is interesting because the headline is that Kawi IS developing a new KX. It’s not a question, it’s a statement as if they know more than they can say. I’m hoping anyway.
Needs to be a KX125 #259 works edition
Fuck, starting to stretch now so I can try and shove my foot in my mouth when it’s actually a new KX.
Haha same 🍻
I just really, really hope it is NOT a complicated, computer controlled injected mess.
Complexity kind of kills the appeal of the two stroke for me. Unnecessary complexity is what people want less of....
Got a stock 05 that I love riding. I’d love to ride one with the motor done. Fun factor I’m choosing this thing all day over the 4 strokes. Racing I’m choosing the 4.
That is what is so cool about 2 strokes, it takes talent to ride them proper.
Nice bike BTW!
Ditto.
The beauty of a 2T for offroad is its mechanical simplicity and the inherent lightweight and reliability. I've been saying for years the market needs another KDX - a competent, affordable 2T that can be enjoyed by a beginner and raced at a high level with some mods.
Does anyone think it’s just a coincidence they released this on 1/25????
Don't mind I'm taking a seat in a histórical thread in the history of VitalMX...
yeah. and while they are at it, it better have a kick start. also ditch the mono shock. lastly please use drum brakes.
Some people prefer supermodels and others go for chubby soccer moms with bobbed-off hair.
Guess it depends on how thrilled you want to be when the ride is over.
Nothing wrong with fitting a two stroke engine in four stroke chassis. I did it to an RMZ and it handles way better than the steel frame I had a couple decades on
Pit Row
Always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission 😅
It’s a trail bike with little 43mm forks.
I own both two and four strokes, I have for years. As I know many people do. The four strokes are easier to ride and probably faster, but the two stroke is unquestionably funner. They both have their places. A four stroke seems "mechanical" that you "drive", a two stroke seems "organic" that you "ride". If that makes any sense.
Nice.
Had the 2003 model - fun bike but would vibrate itself in circles in the driveway when on the axle stand. 😄
Mr. Mattyhamz2…Get that thing dirty!
Well the guy who told me has been involved with Factory Kawasaki for years in the past, and I didn’t take it seriously back then. It could be accurate after all if they really going to launch a new KX….
Haha that was right before the 2 stroke nationals in 2020. Believe it or not, that bike has HUNDREDS of hours! We’ve had it since brand new in 2004.
I’m def faster on my KTM 4T over my 98kx but smile more on the green one…
Gorgeous!!
How is the vibration compared to the steel frame?
It will be interesting 🤔
Correct. But it’s not a dual sport, was my point.
