What do y'all think about quality and durability for such a new bike?
I went to my local dealership at lunch and attempted to put a deposit on one. The guy with the man bun said kawasaki doesn't make such a machine. Then I showed them Vital and he said they didn't know if they were going to order one...it was like pulling teeth. Freaking millinials!
I would ride one of the efi 2 strokes before making assumptions based on weight.
Also the 250xcf is a sweet ass offroad bike lol.
I don't know how to use AI, but I don't like green number plates...

He cleaned up the on the 125! Wattsy was an absolute animal!
You nailed it. Beautiful!
Whelp, since its not a 330 I'm out
It doesn't say how it was weighed on the Kawasaki site... many specs are still TBD. For a while the bike weights were measured with 1/2 a tank of gas, but when I looked at the 2026 KX450 weight, Kawasaki gave both a dry weight and a wet weight with a full tank of gas.
This is the note on all the other mx bikes:
*Curb weight includes all necessary materials and fluids to operate correctly, full tank of fuel (more than 90 percent capacity) and tool kit (if supplied).
Whatever it is, Kawasaki has been doing it that for a few years now. I agree, looks too polished so to speak.
Deposit placed at local dealer. I was the eighth (or so) deposit this morning with most of them being on the X model. They have no information, nothing in the computer, and no notice this was going to happen. They don't even have an idea when they will show up or even be able to order them!
I can’t see the 233 listed being the dry weight. That has to be curb. If it was dry it would weigh the same as the 2026 kx450. Per Google the ktm300 curb is 231.
Saw this and still thought it was fake 😂 but damn, well done Kawi, you need this.
I had Tom Morgan Racing build me a 327 back in 2002.
Pretty fun bike.
Almost wondering if the bore and stroke make the most sense.
I believe ML stated it was around that 233lbs mark on the video he put out earlier.
Squint and it will look something close to this with hair and makeup:
Pit Row
74mm bore?
Yes. The question is if that’s dry or curb.
The KTM 150 is really a 144.
The KTM 300 is really a 293.2
Props to Kawasaki for telling it like it is. When you are playing with bore and stroke, who knows where you will land.
Why does this look so much more AI-ish than the one queen of spodes did?
KDX 220R just took its shirt off.
Cool to see Kawasaki go above and beyond bringing back the 2 stroke. Hopefully this leads to more models in the future.
I’d assume this bike shares the same down draft intake as the 4 strokes?
ML said it was similar in the video.
Hopefully they come out with a 250 to compete in XC2 GNCC and Pro 250 out west in AMA west scrambles, NHHA and NGPC
For someone from Ireland you do not see the Irony!
That is interesting. Same bore x stroke from a place that has a history with Kawi. Probably a story in there somewhere.
Yeppers 74 bore x 76 stroke is 327
Probably different prompts and AI platforms used. I just told it to add the graphics/seat/wheels and it spit out its own rendition instead of using the existing Kawi render. I used to have to spend a bunch of time in photoshop doing my own mockups and now I can just use AI and squint a bit for a pretty accurate depiction of what the final product will look like.
