Starting to lose faith in Kawasaki as a brand, no teasers no release no information just rumors and a silly social media most of you hear us Kawasaki start giving up some info or release the bike 😖

Thus definitely needed to be its own thread and not put as a response in the other thread.

Truman noted on the pulp show it's happening. Seems like he would be a good source since they do work with oems on ecu stuff.

Here …. It’s a 300 2 stroke fuel injected with test bikes running KYb.   So the bike got pushed back due to most test riders saying it is turd compared to the Ktm 300.  Late 26 release.   Other 2 strokes are in the pipeline.  
 

New 450 and 85/112 next yr.

Try this internet forum hack.

Click the last page of a thread...whether it be page 3, 20 or in your case 57.  Just make sure you select the last page...it's usually where the latest news (if any) will be located.

Maybe they can do another platform share job and grace us with more unreliable junk…

Hey now! Unreliable? Yes, but for some reason, that 05 KXF chassis did it for me. Most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.

Kawi's been over it for 20 years. Yamaha on the other hand, seems to be doing quite nicely and never got the memo that the 2 stroke was dead.

Starting to lose faith in Kawasaki as a brand, no teasers no release no information just rumors and a silly social media most of you hear us Kawasaki start giving up some info or release the bike 😖

Would you rather a brand knock it out of the park or release a turd? While I agree the presentation and rollout have been frustrating, the fact that an OEM that has dropped full-size two strokes is bringing them back is still shocking to me. Gotta take it for what it is and be happy it is even happening.

I am all for it, I do wonder what they see that I don't? A little market share that Yamaha and Ktm have dominated? Perhaps they are making a play on ktm and revamping two strokes and the amateur side and domination of team green.

You mean where the company that has great motors does the chassis, and the company with the best handling bikes ever does the motor?

What could possibly go wrong?

Same my 05and 06 rmz250 are still to this day my favorite bikes and anytime I get a chance to ride one im immediately reminded how far this sport really has gone in 20 years. Never had a reliability issue even on my race motors.
