2023 KAWASAKI
K
awasaki introduced its 2023
Kawasaki KX250 and KX450 mo-
tocrossers. The KX450 returns as
it was but with updated graphics, but the
KX250 sees some noteworthy updates.
Kawasaki says the KX250's engine
has been tuned for "stronger per-
formance across the rev-range" and
suspension settings have been updated
for "greater front-end feedback" and
improved "performance at the exit of the
corner, contributing to strong accelera-
tion." Gearing has also been revised.
The KX250 also gets new Dunlop
MX33 tires and a wider 110/90 rear tire.
New and lighter footpegs are wider,
as well.
Both the 2023 KX250 ($8499) and
KX450 ($9,599) are now available.
