Or maybe it was a unit that was already ordered by somebody and now it's got sticky corn dog fingerprints all over it.
If the 327 is a great success (which it will be), I wonder what new 2-stroke bike will spin off from it - 250? 125?
And then you say “I fell on my bike at a park”, that’s all they need to know.
Lots of people prefer the 250sx/xc over the 300 because of they different power deliveries. Im sure the 250 is on the way.

No doubt, unless you have to take an ambulance ride, then it becomes more of a problem.
My first gen KTM 500 EXC with original stock muffler with perforated end-cap says otherwise. It's not exactly quiet but much less harsh to be around. It makes way more power than I'll ever use off road.
So few people know how to mess with a carb nowadays.
If Kawi sees success with the 327x, can we expect a 150ish-2T for the smaller displacement class?
People will complain it's not fast because of FI.
It would not surprise me if there are other models in the next few years.
What other displacement would make sense and have a great impact like 327? I don’t see them doing a bigger motor, but a 396, 426, 427, 454 would be cool. A 223 would give away a bit to a 250, a 243 would work good but both would be rifle references so probably not good for marketing. 199? Plain old 250?
If I was Kawasaki I would do a 125 with an easy 150 kit. That would cover a lot of classes both in woods and mx.
I say bring back the kdx 175
The 220 is sweet for technical stuff. 👍
im so confused with Kawasaki's direction.
in 2021 they said they where going to be electric and hybrid motors only by 2035. yet its 2026, and we get a 2 stroke?
Seems like a wild pivot.
But i support it haha

Failed and canceled. No more.
A 250 would make the most sense because the engine is most likely (same as every other manufacturer) a big bore 250. Same 72mm bore/stroke as ktm, beta, sherco, etc. just need a smaller jug, piston, and head.
Right, but I know of 2 tracks that closed due to noise complaints. Just cuz insurance is a problem tracks face, doesn’t mean it’s the ONLY problem they face.
Pit Row
Well sure. I clearly didn’t say that they all close due to insurance. Or “ONLY”. I hear a lot more about insurance issues than noise though. At least in my area.
270? 177?
It is odd they didn’t have RV or Axell or someone spin a couple laps on it.
It’s because the bike doesn’t exist. What everyone saw at the ranch was an advanced hologram with a soundtrack of 2 stroke noises.
50cent
So we can agree that noise thing is a solution in some instances, correct?
If my grandmother had wheels she would be a bike
