The bike also comes stock with a Keihin 40mmFCR carb... Don't think we will see that carb on a quad...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

I wouldnt be too surprised to see that...just because xc is more widely knowin about...take the great out door games for example...it had two sections...a semi mx race and then the other race....I think more people would be entertained by the xc races just because it has more action, people gettting stuck, crashing...whatever...but that is just my .02

 

Hmm- I don't see a 500 comming from the kwacker camp. But also my .02[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Has anyone seen a shootout of the kx450f i wanna see how the motor compares to the yz450f and the cr450f everyone who has ridden it said that the quality is second to none on this bike and with bubba stewart on it should pose a real threat to carmichael

 

Recently i attended the mid south winter series award banquet in knoxville tennessee. A kawasaki rep was there talking about the new kx450f dirtbike. When he was done he said they weren't leaving out quads, their new 450 would be here in six to twelve months and have electric start as well as reverse. A lot can change in six to twelve months but he also said this to 1000+ people so i'm assuming it had some truth to it. I'm also assuming it will be more focused on xc than motocross because he announced it at a banquet for xc racers. Just happy to hear they're working on something for us.

 

Yeah- that is a ray of hope. Gonna be great to see. Folks- the good days are here again!

 

any idea on the cost? i may just keep the kfx i have now, and then sell it once the new one comes out.

 

You all know it will come. Just give it some time.
