Default KFX 450?

I just heard that Kawasaki is going to be rolling out their own 450 sport-quad. I also heard that it was going to be their own, not a re-badged Suzuki? Anyone know if this is true?

You'll probably see somthing by this time next year. I know they are working on somthing. You are also correct in that the new quad will be built independantly from Suzuki's soon to be unveiled 450...Heck, even the new quad's engine is different from their 450mx'er.

As for things like EFI, electric start, race suspension, or frame material, I don't think they are far enough along in the development process to take a guess as to what they have in mind.

I wouldn't doubt it if they do gear it towards xc racing. I think it would be a good idea for Kawi to do so, to stand out a little. But they should make it a 450 not 500 for the simple fact that there is still some die hard Kawi fans that MX.

That's exactly my logic, motox- it would be relegated to XC racing if it was 500cc, which I really don't see happening anyways. 500cc would make it a bastard.............
