Anyone remember the KX450F development?
Its release was delayed due to frames breaking during testing.
It happens.
It didnt stop them from releasing the '09 KX450 with head gaskets that blow before the coolant would boil.
Never heard of that...chain guides and the rear hub would crack; we found them pretty tough.
I would simply use my wife’s stimulus in addition to my own. Can’t wait to tear up GH on a new two stroke! braaaaaaap!!!

They have to make sure it’s good. If they came out with a bike and Queefer and ML say its slow….then itll never sell at all.
More so if it can’t compete with the KTM TBI engine wise, it will be a disappointment.
Are they just messing with us now?

Dont think so, to me this is more about the start of RC´s sx dominance than the 2 strokes that wont be released anytime soon.
Kawis race team is holding on to whatever they can. they have been sucking since Tomac left.
Anderson won 7 races and scored more points than he did his championship year on a Kawasaki.
''Kawasaki either shit or get off the pot!'' Im in the market for a new woods smoker. At least let us know you're workin on it.
Yes Ando did well one year. But they still suck when compared to the last kawi teams with RC, JS, RV an Tomac.
Likely using a stage-gate product development process. If the criteria to get to the next development stage is not met, it can be killed or sent back to the team for further development.
I’ve been saying that for almost a year now. I got fed up and bought a new YZ 250x. Ol’ reliable 😂
1,000% 👍
At least post the pic, both bikes look super sexy ngl I love the green frame on the four stroke
Recent Keefer podcast he had a tidbit at the end where he said the Kawi two strokes are coming, would assume he has some intel. Would not surprise me if they had a surprise unveil some time soon.
1/25 isn’t far away folks 😂
Except they announced it. Delayed can be explained, retraction is a mgmt and public relations debacle. Can’t see that happening.
Pit Row
I did. I bought a Stark instead. For real.
They should have kept the brown X-Trig clamps on the 450 to match the works clamps on RC's 250.
1. The check is in the mail.
2. I won't ___ in your mouth.
3. Politicians will be held accountable.
4. Kawasaki 2-stroke release.
Only 7 days until the 1 year anniversary of Kawi announcing their 2 strokes are coming back 😂. So I wonder how long “Soon” is
Thanks Steve - "I heard you".
😄
We really do not need more choices to divide up the already small dirt bike market, we need bike choices to introduce more riders to the sport.
My DBP from the hit at 5,500 rpm threw the long mid . I pull the efi Ktm 125. In wet deep tacky sand coming out of corners.
Maybe the new KDX will msrp at $5000? It's gonna be made by GPX so why not have a GPX price tag with it?
source was the Mandalorian
GPX 300s are $7000
Where'd you hear it's going to be a 300?

That’s not a very high bar.
