So kawis get discounted massively before the years even over every year. In wv theres a dealer with 17 kx450s for 5800 brand new and 18s for 6300.
I cant wait till the 19s come out and are ground up new bikes. Will a left over kx be 4800?? Ill have to grab one if so lol

He is the lowest dealer for buying a Kawi in the country from what he has told me, and seeing his prices I would believe it.
Can’t wait to see the production 19 450.
The Shop
I am VERY tempted to buy a 18 KXF for 6k, throw some cone valves on it, a pipe, and some cams and be styling for 9k
How is that idiotic triple air fork working for ya now, Kawasaki? I am certain that the blowout prices we have seen on Kaw 450's for the last few years are directly attributable to the air fork, which is a pain in the butt that nobody i know personally or have spoken to wants to mess with
Pit Row
I have an older Kawasaki in the garage now with Kayaba first gen air forks, which are so poorly thought out it really blows my mind. Pre ride routine: replace fork seals, remove air plug, thread in adapter. thread on pump, pump up fork. remove pump. remove adapter. replace cap. proceed to the next fork and repeat the entire procedure. That is, unless you like your bars in the forward mounts. In that case you can pencil in "remove handlebars" before all the check plug and threading in an out of adapter and pump. So lame, what a stupid , poorly thought out way to cut a few pounds
Loved the bike, much more than my current SXF. Those bars though...they were pretty good unless you had to do a 30 min moto in the heat, in that case you would start the moto with pressure at 2'4 and end it at 2'8 with your arms like puré. The newer generations of air forks work around 10 psi so small changes are not THAT noticeable
Figured I'd hang on to it before I gave it away.
