Outside of the shroud graphics that is one sweet bike! If I was interested in a four stroke I’d pick me up one of those.

Is Tomac going to stay on the '18 for the rest of the summer? He seems to have that bike dialed so I wouldn't imagine he'd want to hop on a brand new bike in the middle of the championship run like Villo did that one year.

Its been well received with the Japanese team green riders this year. They’ve been doing well on it. But they are works versions, so don’t know how that equates to these.

Looks like a player. Any chance ML that Tomac lines up on the '19 prior to the end of the Nationals? Maybe if he clinches early?

Impressed with the weight. They added electronic start, hydraulic clutch and spring forks but only gained 1.4 lbs.

Do I buy one? Or wait a year to refine it....that is the question.
Tomac and/or Anderson for 2020.....

Well done Kawasaki! Will be buying one next season. I kinda dig the graphics, but that’s just me.

On a more somber note, anyone notice they dropped the "F" from both the 450 and the 250 on the Kawi website. Say goodbye to your chance of a 2-stroke revival.
