Kawasaki's KX450 returns for
2025 virtually unchanged after
a ground-up redesign in 2024.
It did, however, get a newly
shaped air filter for added
performance and durability,
but aside from that, it's the
same as last year. It comes
standard with Kawasaki's
Ergo-Fit system, a hydraulic
clutch, Brembo front brake,
Showa suspension, and a full
suite of electronics with trac-
tion control and a smartphone
app. It ties with Honda as the
heaviest bike of the bunch and
tips the wallet as the most ex-
pensive of the three Japanese
bikes in this test.
