Lot of nerds up in here. The mostly black KX looks sick AF. Stop whining about everything and talking about awesome 1996 was. Bike are ridiculously good now across the board, stop bitching about what they look like... it really doesn't matter.

I like it. As a ONE OFF. Wouldn't want it overtime. I like the fact they switch it up now & then. Lets see an all green one next please boys.

It is definitely better than Barcias Honda. That thing is ugly.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and its only for MEC and spooky season cuz that doesn’t look like a factory bike but more or so that “craigslist special”.

I agree. They act like people only associate brand by front fender colors, everything else doesn't matter. I mean go all out black or rear fender green and blend the black/charcoal graphics in the center.

I'm a firm believer in the "3-Color Rule" not the 2 color.

Blacked out equals clapped out.

Craigslist special.

Somebody's good for nothing, won't amount to anything, basement living, internet trolling, craigslist guru son just found gainful employment with the Kawasaki race team designing graphics. ("color-ways" for the younger crowd)

If this was Eli's idea.........his credibility just went down. A lot.

Each to their own, eh? Sigh.

That bike was pretty ugly however it was creative and original.

I mean how original is a big green M on the side of the motorcycle? It's a one off race. Do something creative and out of the box. Go wild. Designers should let their imaginations run free.

Black plastic and a big green M. Wow!

They have guide lines to follow but Tomac's bike looks very amateurish. They could of done a lot better.

Pretty lame attemp if you ask me. The good news is that it's only for this race and he'll hopefully have something better looking for the 2018 season.

Or you could pay him more than his sponsors, and tell him races to race.

I agree. The bike is bland.

A green M and black plastics can look good though. (even though I really dislike the Monster logo.)

FUGLY.
I'm not against blacked bikes, but this one doesn't look good.
Hanny's KXF from a few years back SX was what a black kawi should look like:
