2007 Kawasaki KFX 50

® The KFX 50 is a best in class ATV perfect for beginning riders age 6 years and older. The KFX50 combines an environmentally friendly 4-stroke air-cooled engine with solid handling, especially important for young riders. A wide 35-inch stance makes the KFX50 stable in turns, while full floorboards provide extra comfort for the rider.

Though it is a compact entry level ATV, features like electric starting, singleshock swingarm rear suspension, A-arm front suspension, dual front drum and single rear disc brakes, mean the KFX50 offers similar styling and features to the larger KFX models.

An adjustable throttle stop, CVT transmission speed limiter and lanyard safety switch allow the rider’s confidence and skill levels to increase while parental control is maintained. Once the rider is confident enough to operate the KFX50 on their own, parents can still maintain control over its operation, thanks to the keyed ignition which helps to prevent unauthorized use.
