Brad Lackey,MisterMX, Mister BiteYour-Head-Off-At-The-Ankles, And now he's riding for Kawasaki. How canthat be? Heain't dumb. Lastyear, the magazines said allthe KX125 needed wassuspension. Well, Happy NewYear! And happy new suspension. Y ougot it Weve alsoimproved the 124cc Boyesen reed-valve engine andrefined the 6-speed transmission. The fuel tank isbigger for longer length European motos,too. Andthebike's morecomf ortable so you can ride longer withouttiring. It's super light and super fast It's a works replica with the works. The KX250 willblow the doors offeverybody. Period. Weve reworked this worksreplica with a betterignition, closer-ratiogearbox and an improved tirefor holeshot blastaways. Ditto on the comfort storywith a newseat, handlebar andfootpeg positions. The shocking news up front is longer wheel travelwith new air-springforks. Andgas-oil shocks with remote reservoirs,andan increase inrear wheel travelto Il" Backing up everything is a powerful,lightweight 249cc engine inducted by a 6-petal Boyesen reed-valve. An electrofusion cylinder dissipates heatfaster. Andthe radial-fm head keeps things cooler under the collar. Brad knows. This year if you haven't got the Greens,you're gonna get the blues.
