KAWASAKI KX-F & KX-FX OFF-ROAD The 2027 KX250F and KX250FX feature some fine- tuning that Kawasaki says gives both bikes more power across the board due to chang- es to the combustion chamber and exhaust system, and the handling is improved via new suspension settings. They both also feature updated hydraulic clutches (15 percent stiffer springs) and FI settings. The KX250F has a $8599 MSRP, and the KX250X has a $8699 MSRP. Both bikes will be available in the summer. CN The 2027 KX250F has few changes, but Kawasaki says it has more power across the board.
