Default 2008 KFX450R.... it's here *pics*

Well with the dealer show this weekend, it was pretty obvious that some pictures of this much anticipated beast from Kawasaki would surface today, and well, here it is:

front left

left side

right rear

black

and white


Some of the features:

- Race-winning performance right from the crate
- Rigid, light-weight all-aluminum frame is a class exclusive
- Racing-style chassis with single box tube lower frame
- Closer lower A-arm pivot points help reduce bump steer and lengthen suspension travel
- Competition-oriented reverse gear is a class exclusive
- Keihin fuel-injection with 42mm throttle body
- Plenty of low-mid range torque for higher cornering speeds and unbeatable handling
- Front and rear fenders feature two-piece construction for easy replacement
- Easily detachable front headlights
- Petal rear brake rotor for more efficient braking performance
- Renthal FAT-BAR is held by a clamp that can accommodate other MX handlebar design

There ya go! Enjoy.

Nope. It's a 2008 model though, so you'll probably see it in dealerships by summer.

I like the black one and also the white one. Looks like kawasaki is trying to set this thing up nicely.
