2004 Kawasaki KX250F Review

2004 Kawasaki KX250F

Kawasaki’s first-ever four-stroke motocross bike.

After months of public speculation, Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., announced it is indeed entering the world of four-stroke motocross with the brand’s first-ever four-stroke motocross bike. The all-new Kawasaki KX250F for 2004 extends Kawasaki’s prestigious history of building championship-winning racing motorcycles, taking its place next to the entire race-winning KX model line.

“The KX250F is designed to be lighter, faster and better handling than the competition,” said Steve Fischer, off-road motorcycle product manager for Kawasaki. “Just as important, it’s easier to ride, so KX250F racers can look forward to more wins at the track.”

With an all-new liquid-cooled four-stroke engine, new Kawasaki perimeter frame and suspension, the KX250F is designed for one purpose: victory in 125-class motocross and Supercross competition.
