The KX motor is in an aftermarket Roll Design frame, not a Mojave frame. If you want a similar bike all you would need is a very very large pile of money.

Duncan Racing sells them or you can get them straight from Roll Design. Check the magazines.

If you look at the kxf-250 frame it looks really similar to the mojave's frame.

The Roll frames are nothing like the Mojave frames. They are based on the 250R goemetry with some changes made to the front a-arms mount location to decrease the rail width and change the rake angle of the frame. The rear of the Rolls uses a no-link suspension arangement.

Back in the day when Kawasaki had a factory team contesting both grand nationals and Mickey Thompson Grand Prix's with Charlie Shepherd and Jackie Meadows in the saddle they rode works Mojave's with KX250 motors, so it has been done though I don't know what amount of custom fabrication was involved.

keep in mind that a stock kx250 engine is not counter balanced so it will most likely rattle alot and you would have to have a custom pipe and silencer made up for you. I would consider a tecate engine before a kx. They had fast motors.
