i'm wondering if anyone has heard anything about the Kawasaki KXF250 2-stroke racer?
will it be produced, has it been cancelled, or is it just a tease?

 

the kxf250r or the tecatte as its better known as was produced in like 87 and 88. it was made only for those 2 years and is pretty rare. i think their pretty cool looking. their were pretty narrow but they had tons of power. they were the fastest stock 250. they came in green and in white. i don't think kawasaki is planning on making them again but i have heard rumors of a new 500cc mojave.

 

I wish it would be made but I doubt it.

 

Chances are slim and....well just none. All indications from Kawasaki are that they only intend to build the bike for the GNCC race team and it will never see production. Those of us waiting for Kawasaki to offer a new sport bike are expecting a four-stroke offering.

 

Well, a racing buddy of mine that works at a Kawasaki dealership in Georgia told me that Kawasaki will be releasing a NEW high performance quad for the 2002 model year. He got this infor from the owner of the dealership, who got the info during an anual dealer meeting with Kawasaki.

 

I certainly hope so, the possibility of a new Kawasaki is the only thing keeping my checkbook in my pocket.

 

It is NOT going to happen. This is a bitter pill for many of us to swallow, but hoping and dreaming only prolongs the pain. Maybe a four stroke in the future, but I got tired of waiting.
All these rumors are just that, rumors. Just like Bombardier's 380 twin. By the way, did anybody get a job testing for them? If so, what were you testing?

 

I spoke with the vice president of Kawasaki at the Utah atv jamboree and he told me off the record that the 250 racer will not be built for mass production.However there will be a very high tech 4 stroke in the 400 cc range.Something is better than nothing.

I doubt they KXF will go into production but I'm sure they will make something similar, Sport kawasaki lovers are getting restless. I heard rumors about 2 different new Mojaves, one called the Super Mojave Project and the 500cc Mojave, those rumors are more believable than the 2-stroke twin I'd say

 

When I said I hoped so I of course meant that I hoped we would see the four stroke as an early 2002 maybe next summer. I of course don't live under the fantasy that we will ever see another KXF.
