Just watched the video again and all of the things being pointed out as AI from the photo do not look anything like that in the video. 

Can’t wait for the RV video to be released and hear all this nonsense again.

Exactly - the video is legit, I don't believe it was AI or enhanced....but it could be a trick somebody is playing, aka take a screenshot use AI to "make it look like AI" to throw folks off, don't know but nothing in that video looked weird, if I had taken a screenshot it would of looked ok.

Apparently the real-life reveal is set for Tuesday at Loretta's.  RV and Stew Baylor are set to introduce it, then Axell Hodges will join them later for autographs.  Plus, it'll be started every day at 3:27.

Kawasaki used to offer the KDX200 in both traditional lime green, and all white/blue like this mock up. This was around 89-90. The white ones are hard to come by now.  In 85 they offered the then air-cooled KDX in both lime and red

Wonder why the ‘X’ version at a motocross race? And the short video with MC was an X.

Because the X is going to sell at a minimum of 5 to 1 of the straight moto version.

If Kawasaki is smart XCs will be the first off the production line.

Once these are through the initial surge of sales and you can actually find one on a showroom floor that isn't presold those will be the moto bike. The X will be sold out for a long long time.

Every time I look at it, I wish I was seeing a more compact and oval looking silencer, like a vintage DG and not the 4 fatty look...

But damn, this thing looks better than what I think everyone expected.

From Kawasaki.com, this is the KX327. Looks white to me.

I didn't say squat like that! 😉But I've been three times to my local dealer since June 2 (with cash) and they treat me like a nerd who came from comic con. It's no wonder they still have a 25 450 on the floor...

Probably. Black looks better, but white is super helpful on seeing the gas. I prefer white.

I like the translucent tanks but I’m planning on getting a little transfer pump to pull the fuel out of the tank and into my gas can between rides. I’m a nerd and don’t like my tanks getting stained really quickly (especially since I use Motul 800 2T and it is red). My carbed bikes in the past have been easy to drain but using a pump shouldn’t be too big of a hassle.

If white gas tanks get stained from the fuel INSIDE the tank, how is it that restorers can bring them back to white by sanding?

They cant, they definitely get brown after a while I've owned many offroad KTMs. 

The plastic is slightly porous so it soaks into the tank and also UV rays turn it brown a little too.

I think PC or FMF can fix that for you 😎
