People hating on the Kawi are overlooking the number of other bikes that had failures. Osborns bike was close the crapping out.. A factory bike being ridden by a pro rider in a mud race like that is stressed to the limit. It happens. Really sucks it ... more »
You mean the bike he’s won 3 MX and 1 SX title on? It’s racing and racing in the mud in this case. Stuff happens.
“Any day now”
I was just quoted $7,502 cash “out the door” for the ‘21 Kx250.
The fact that there is a thread dedicated to how these bikes did in the first 15 secs of a race is a testament to how far this once might brand has fallen.

Not a single Suzuki in either class?!
Just listened to Keefers podcast. He really likes the ‘21. Sounds like the clutch and bar change make a bigger difference in how the bike rides than you’d think.

Says the guy that would have no clue given they are both brand new.........
Anyone seen a ‘21 in a dealership yet? I’ve heard they are out there?

Anyone see weight and a power curve chart for the 250?
Tons of changes for the 250. Surprised by the engine updates given it was all new last year. If they address lack of low- mid, this could be a great bike.
