Default KFX 450 - New spy photos!

Just came across some new spy photos of the much anticapated KFX 450. Click here

I only wish there were some closer shots, but oh well at least we got something new. There is an article about it on the ATV I11ustrated website, but for some reason it won't let me post the link or mention the words [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Enjoy!

lookin good from that angle, i hope the front end is different from the new minis they have out. Those things are a bit homely IMO.

Nope.

But does it look kind of like it sits tall to anyone else? Sort of Raptor-esque? It just doesn't seem to have the same low stance of the other 3 450's.

It doesn't look overly tall to me. Maybe the front fenders are throwing you off? Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the plastic isn't quite authentic. ya know, set up different to help throw off the spies? then again, they sure didn't do a good job of hiding the aluminum frame.

good job on finding more photos. i hate that site though, popup crap all over the place.
without taking a closer look it looks like a green raptor in the second pic. i still like it and it looks like the front may be incrementalyl wider than the back???

and i know what you mean about this:

".. ATV I11ustrated website, but for some reason it won't let me post the link or mention the words"

what does this site have against them? they have one of the best mags out and everytime i go to quote them or mention the words it says its forbidden... why? i re-read what i said and thought i may have subconsciously wrote a bad word or something but NO its the name of that site and mag that it protests....can someone explain that?

still the bike is going to be cool...

Is this going to be a re-badged Suzuki? Like the 400 was?

No, Suzuki and Kawasaki Split up this year for some reason. I miss the KFX 400 already. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Guess you could just get a z400.

I don't like that there is no graphics on it but it looks mean and the front fenders looks like the kfx700.
