BREAKING NEWS! KAWASAKI IS BRINGING BACK THE KX TWO-STROKE
The Kawasaki KX two-stroke returns! Saturday, January 25th, just before everything kicks off at the Anaheim 2 Supercross, Kawasaki shares an abbreviated press release showing countless comments asking for a two-stroke model, and then Kawasaki replies, “We heard you” with a two-stroke revving up in the background.
Kawasaki last produced the KX125 in 2006, and the KX250 in 2007. Now, almost 20 years later, Kawasaki is developing another two-stroke. Does this mean they’ll have to change the name for their four-strokes back to KX250F and KX450F? We think so!
Currently, the details are slim, but we are pleasantly surprised by Kawasaki’s decisions here. In the world we live in now, we thought it would be more likely for Kawasaki to produce an electric bike, rather than a two-stroke.
This could be Kawasaki’s smartest move in a long time. The two-stroke market is alive and well. With prices going up everywhere due to inflation, consumers are craving tw0-strokes because they’re more affordable to maintain and more fun to ride. Since we don’t have photos of their new bike yet, let’s take a look back at Kawasaki’s two-strokes of the past. We don’t expect they’ll be resurrecting an old steel frame for their new two-stroke, it’s more likely they’ll go the platform-sharing route and fit a two-stroke engine into their current KX250/KX450 chassis
