I mean if you think he’s that stupid and insufferable why keep engaging with him?

Holy chittttttttttt!!!!! Only 90+ pages before it finally dropped.... lmaooooo
It becomes quiet about the possible new 360/380 KTM , last thing i heard are Piston Problems similar to the SX 300.
I‘am not a Kawasaki Fan but this KX 327 is great, hope to see a RM 350 or YZ 350 the next Years
That 360 development prolly killed by Bajaj.
It was a real bummer when Billy broke his leg - he was doing so well, and, I think, in the lead of the Championship at the time.
Fairly rapidly, there were quite few KX riders on the Perimeter framed Hybrids. Easy things to make.
But, over the next few seasons, they pretty much disappeared, KX riders were, generally, back on the backbone bikes. The last few years of the 500s, the field was pretty much made of KX and CR500s, for the privateers, with the Husky and 'Bergs, then the Yamahas and KTM 4ts starting to do the Championships winning. The last of the 500 2 stroke champions was Swede Marcus Hansson on a CR500 in '94, , then a Dastardly Kiwi by the name of Shayne King, with the 360 /380 's win in '96. Those 'mixed' types years 500 World Championships DVDs are a great watch, with the variety of bikes / sounds out on the track, by the way.
Huh.
5 speed for Moto.
6 speed for Off-Road.
Damn.
This makes WAY TOO MUCH SENSE!
Honestly, it's the details on the X model that show Kawasaki's commitment to this, especially the 6 speed transmission.
I've heard whispers there may be more models to come in the next couple of years. Exciting times!
I've read all that, thanks. I'm specifically looking for the bore and stroke. queen of spodes said the new engine had a 76mm stroke, but didn't list the bore. I'm curious if this is accurate and would like to see the actual data. Have you seen the bore and stroke listed somewhere?
ktm is working/testing now, 2028 model, size idk
Can’t wait to make my “89ish” graphics that say KDX327SR…a “DH1” on the front and rear fenders…
Headlight…taillight…
Baja will be smokin’…again!
Brrrrrrraaapp!
With a 74mm bore and 76mm stroke, you'd get 326.906cc.
As close to a '327', as you're going to get!
The Beta 350 went up to a 73.6 stroke - only a little bit more than a near 'traditional' 72mm on most 250 / 300 2 strokes, I'd think, to keep piston speed down, so as not to lose revs.
But, you never know. Smaller piston = lighter weight, may be an offset to the longer stroke.
Should be a Great thing, whatever B & S it has!
Those of us who have had yamaha's in the late 80s and honda's in the 90s, no bueno on the white tanks.
But has it arrived yet…technically? 😎
Pit Row
Not a liar 🙄
👍👏
227 along side the 327 would be killer
I just got back from my local dealership and they had no idea what I was trying to put a deposit on. After I made them look it up they said they "didn't know if they would be ordering any ". I left my number and walked out...
What Time Machine you used or you know someone high up at kawi ? lol your bang on a year ago when even Kawi USA guys had no clue
I think it will even be more undersquare than 74x76, especially since it's case reed. But I agree with you, looks like a clean sheet design, so I'm guessing Kawi will nail it or at least get really close. It's not about piston weight, it's about port area, and thus why all the current "big bore" 2 strokes never quite hit the mark- they are for the most part over bored 250s and not clean sheet specific designs. Even the Beta 350. Really looking forward to seeing how a purpose built, modern tech, mid size 2 stroke will stack up. That is something never really brought to market, and why I'm interested to know what the actual specs are. 👍
Local dealer here was informed; no word on stocking, inventory, etc. $500 non-refundable deposit on the 'X' with a TBD (Late Fall 2026) on arrival. Was told phone lines were going crazy for hours, but they confirmed they can take the reservation.
Im very interested in the fork angle of the woods bike vs the mx, on the 4 strokes the woods bike is steeper, If that is the case on these bikes Ill get the MX version
My salesman had a man bun. I wrote my info on HIS card and left it on his desk, don't know if I'll ever hear back...
Is the man bun still a thing?
Pride month in 2026 that tracks; although leaving your number you may get a call back depending on what you wore 🤣. In all seriousness though, sorry to hear about the crummy customer service. I'd bet over the next few weeks we'll start getting more info from Kawasaki, and dealers should get better guidance on inventory, allocations, and arrival dates.
Find another dealer that’s worth giving your money to.
