Just update this a little bit and I'm in!! Maybe then, I can get rid of this old one... LOL
Actually, I am in regardless.
Tell you what. You locate my intact 1987 YZ250, I'll buy it and film me starting it with 2 fingers....
I still have the VIN and receipt....so no cheating.
Don't you dare! But if you do I'd be interested 😆

That bike is not going anywhere! LOL
I got to display it at the Legends and Heroes display at Indy last year and it is now on display in my man cave.
What happened to it?
I will get right on it. Nice deflection though broski...
Its not necessary that kawi bring anything back because 2 stroke never left. Yamaha and ktm make sure that 2 stroke didnt disappear all this years😜
just kidding...
Amazing news , hope to see 125/250s new style/frame/susp with keihin carb or maybe some EFI for enduro models
Responsibility.....career...... the usual.
Wish I still had it.
Nice target fixation broski...
The video I shared of the gentleman with the KX 250 proves a 2-stroke 250 can be hand-started.
Wait... you mean that wasn't you?
😄
Nice. Not as nice as yours, but I sure miss mine.
Am I the only one thinking starting a bike by hand isn’t a brag? Weird way to flex.
I don’t care if it e start or kick though my guess is they will go with electric to be on par with current generations. Carb or efi will be interesting as there seems to be a bigger split in the community on what is better.
In the UTV world, Kawi is very openly shooting images in Glamis for their new car, rumored to have the H2 in it.
This could be a big year for Kawi and I'm excited to see this and the new smokers.
That's pretty wild! I've spent some time on the H2. That motor is something else.
After reading a lot of the posts in this thread, I think 4/20 would be a much more appropriate date.
It is a smoker!
Pit Row
HaHaHa! 😆
Huh??
It was a "misinformation cheesy video" he saw hahaha
i go pee pee out my ding dong
The late 70s through late 80's were a special time in motocross. So many changes in such a short amount of time. Will we see new innovations on the brand new Kawasaki two stroke? Time will tell.
you can even go back to 1973 and introduction of Honda CR125 Elsinore turned everything upside down. The incredible lightspeed innovation and time to market of big 4 Japanese brands leapfrogged all the Euro bikes most of us had in that era. Add in all the pioneering US riders we had and it was a really great time for MX racing and riding. 👍
Yes! 1973 through 1988 saw massive changes. We started with air cooling, drum brakes, 4” of twin shock travel, and ended up with bikes that are very similar in most ways to what we ride today, the only big exception is the legislation driven change to 4 strokes in the 2000s.
Into the 90s the biggest changes were honestly ergonomics. Tank/seat got flatter and flatter as the years went on. Suspension also improved quite a bit, but even the big four had mostly figured out cartridge style forks by the late 80s, which are still not horrible today with correct spring rate and oil.
It was quite exciting. I bought the 1980 Kx125 when it came out. I thought it was a pretty good bike but broke the frame at the front swing arm bolt.
My favorite KX photo of all time! The late Kenny Zart grabbing a handful of throttle on the '82 KX-250!!
I’d up vote this twice if could. Killer shot!
One conventional one USD fork. 😆
