A 125 works for him...
no he did not say anything about size. He said he had one 'pre-ordered' which is certainly just tongue in cheek comment to help the hype train.
Tall maybe, he's 6' 1". He's not heavy at 165lbs. I wouldn't consider him a big guy, I guess he's a big guy compared to A-Mart.
You do realize that this is a first step. Kawasaki isn't gonna roll out a huge line of 2-strokes the first year after not having offered them since 2007/8.
It sounds like there's a good shot of there being a mx and off-road version of the first model they are releasing. If enough of us buy them, and demand is there for a 125/150, I'm sure they will build one.

KX500 engine in a modern chassis with KYB suspension?

Looks like Honda beat Kawi to it. Surprised no one posted it . The bike sounds stout & quick cr300 & a X.![]()
Huh pics won’t upload again. The cr300 is on yt.
Share the link. Nothing posted on official Honda socials…
If you mean this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLQOJEOHIyY), here's my reply:
I call bullshit. Pure, 100% bullshit. The pics are AI generated garbage, as is the narration on this video. Honda HATES two strokes with every fiber of their existence. They currently make ZERO two stroke products of any kind. Why would they start again? It's not even April and people are already falling for this crap.
You still have time to delete this
Oh u found it good job. Now take your chill pill . It’s on yt it has to b real right ? The bike sounds Dam good. I didn’t hear a Kawi yet . At least they give us a fake bike.

The 2025 RM 2 stroke is ready to be released!! 😆😆😆
Dudes making a living off idiots clicking on his channel. Quit sharing that BS
Still praying for a 500😆
So when do we get to see this thing? Does anyone have an idea?
Pit Row
Approximately 23 days, 14 hours, 25 minutes PST.
3/18 is the rumor.
4/1 is the fact
3/18 for 318ccs? I could get behind that.
Expect it to be a 2026 model, available late this year or early next year.
Yep. No one has anything credible so far on model or release date.
Size matters.
Not to Johnny O'Mara...
How to win the marketing war-125,175 or 200, 250-300, 350(!)to 500. Use the current chassis to amortize costs. Might not work for 20 years straight but, they likely sell every bike in the 350cc to 500cc range for awhile quite easily. If they make a bike that outrun 450s it will be popular. They already have the older engine designs to start from blueprint wise. It seems like Kawis always are the best prices too, they know how to manufacture things affordably
Any talk of a 500 2T is crazy to me. Have you ridden one? I’m a big 2t fan, but don’t need to go there again. Sign me up for a 300cc at the most.
I have ridden 500s in the past. I'd agree older 500s are a very thrilling fun handful. A modern, counterbalanced large bore two stroke in a modern chassis has great potential. Will it be better than a 450? Doubtful. Faster- doable. 10k dollar engine kits are being sold, 500 prices are ridiculous used, they are popular. Everyone's senses have been recalibrated by modern 450s, 500s aren't quite as radical as they once felt. As far as I'm concerned, anything that can outrun a 450 on the start is the only bike they can make that would be an advancement at the moment(combustion wise). People don't need more than a 450, but they do want it. Just my opinion. Again 300cc? Very cool but also common at this point. A 350 with more stroke than a 300 so it actually overrevs properly, up to 500cc? They can do it with 1 set of engine cases. Modern engine controls with multiple maps and traction control could work wonders for a large cc 2 stroke. Let alone electric start, and a fully modern chassis. It'll probably never happen, they went extinct because no one bought them anymore etc. But even a 300 vs a 450 is like bringing a a banana to a grenade fight.
500 2t are the most difficult and not fun bike I've ever ridden. The novelty of riding a 500 wears off quick and your bones get the punishment
