2011 KAWASAKI MOTORCYCLES

On the track, you need berm-blasting, straightaway-scorching and rival-roosting performance. The 2011 KX™450F has it, with massive fuel-injected power that's tunable with Kawasaki’s optional Factory KX FI Calibration Kit. Now with a stronger bridged-boxbottom piston, stylish black Alumite-coated rims and low-friction DLC inner fork tubes, the baddest KX motorcycle in history is also better than ever.

With new Digital fuel injection, the 2011 KX™250F motorcycle delivers more firepower than ever, from responsive low-end torque to wicked horsepower at the limit. It’s all tunable with an optional Factory KX FI Calibration Kit that optimizes power for any conditions. Add the all-new first in class, Separate Function Fork with externally adjustable preload and titanium-coated inner tubes, plus factory-style black Alumite-coated rims, and the KX250F continues to rule the 250 class.

The gulf between a KX™85 and a full-sized Lites-class motocrosser such as the KX250F is a large one, and rare is the rider who bridges the transition easily. All of which explains the existence of Kawasaki’s KX100 – the ideal stepping stone from minis to the major leagues. With its larger wheels, the KX100 provides adolescent motocross racers and off-road riders with a right-sized motorcycle, one that allows them to focus on riding technique instead of excessive power and heft. The 99cc liquid-cooled KIPS® power valve 2-stroke engine along with the Keihin PWK28 carburetor produces crisp throttle response and a broad powerband.

For decades, the 85cc-class mini-motocrosser has been the training crucible for the world’s best racers, and Kawasaki’s KX™85 has been at the forefront for much of that time. The level of technology, power and berm-busting capability packed into this 152-pound rocketship is mind-boggling, and the way it can tear up a motocross track in an expert’s hands must be seen to be believed. It’s nothing short of a youth motocrosser’s dream machine. Large disc brakes front and rear provide the KX85 pilot with strong and progressive stopping power out on the track.

Competitive riders have to start somewhere – and Kawasaki’s KX™65 is a perfect place to develop high-performance riding skills. With its high-revving and deliciously powerful two-stroke engine, lightweight and agile chassis, disc brakes, long-travel suspension and small size, the KX65 can help teach energetic youngsters the basics – and much more – of what’s arguably the most physically demanding sport in the world. 65cc liquid-cooled 2-stroke engine provides race-bred performance for aspiring future motocross stars.
