Kawasaki KX250 (KX250R) 2005-2008

The Kawasaki KX250 '' appeared in 1974 and was produced until 2008. The first versions of the motorcycle were produced for the American market, but since 1988 the model has also become available in the markets of Europe and Japan, and since 1990 in Australia.

A total of 13 generations of the Kawasaki KX250 have been released, but the most interesting versions have been since 1990, when the model was equipped with an inverted fork. In our review, we will consider a model starting from the 9th generation, namely modifications from 1992. Older versions of the motorcycle are very rare and are practically not represented on the Russian market.

The main features of the Kawasaki KX250 are a steel frame, sports adjustable suspensions, a powerful 2-stroke liquid-cooled engine with KIPS power valves, disc brakes, a 5-speed gearbox and 97 kg dry weight.

In 2004, a 4-stroke version Kawasaki KX250F appeared to replace the 2-stroke KX250. However, despite this, both modifications were sold in parallel until 2008 inclusive, after which the Kawasaki KX 250 was finally discontinued.

The "younger" model is Kawasaki KX 125.
