Reliable Source says Kawasaki is making a 2T bike soon

[Chuck78]

Now that I poke around on the internet more, I'm seeing a lot of people in the dirt bike industries posing questions on social media etc as far back as 2019 saying basically - If Kawasaki made a new KDX, would you buy it?



Carson Brown the famous racer, on December 1st, 2022:

"Who would still buy a KDX if Kawasaki still produced them? #KDX220 #Kawasaki"

There was also another one talking about a custom built KX300 big bore with a lot of references to a new KDX300

I would be down for one IF, in addition to the KF250f chassis, 18" rear, and a kickstand, they need to give it a true wide ratio 6 speed trans and e-start.

That's basically what the KX250X already has, except Kawasaki failed on the wide ratio transmission portion... they gave it an even narrower ratio in 1st gear in 2020 or 2022 unfortunately, a trickle down from it's motocross-oriented twin the KX250F.

KX250X derived from the KX250F is basically the 4-stroke version of what Yamaha has done with the 2-stroke YZ250 / YZ125 motocrossers in making the YZ250X and now (2019+?) YZ125X woods bike variants on their MX machines...
AWESOME bikes, the YZ250X and YZ125X, but no e-start, and they really missed the mark on not adding e-start or a real lighting system. You can get aftermarket lighting stator kits for them, but they're not even the output that a rewound KDX lighting stator can provide. The engines and suspensions on the YZ125X and YZ250X really are awesome though, but I don't understand why they wouldn't simply bump up the 125 to a 144cc like all the other woods bikes of the same class?

Hey I'm new here,, I've been lurking a while. Have any of you noticed kawasakis recent surprise release campaign for their new models? This image looks promising, if for no other reason to me than seeing a tool bag on the back fender.

Maybe we will see a new kdx soon!

If the link doesn't work, just do a search for the new 2024 kawasaki release line up and see for yourselves.

“Going broke” or getting DIVORCED!!! … unfortunately (or maybe FORTUNATELY), I don’t think it happens till ‘25. That picture shows a KLX I’m pretty sure. KDX wouldn’t have a mirror stalk rising up off the handlebars.

I don't know, why would they keep something that's available so hidden, I'm thinking something so iconic if you go look at the video they might be bringing something else back too for the street? Just my hopeful view lol I know wishful thinking but I'm wishing

I see that now, yeah maybe it's a klx 230 sm, definitely the 300 I just read more your right moon
