2024年10月3日 · The Kawasaki W230 is a parts bin bike that shares parts with other machines in the Kawi lineup, but also recycles ideas from the past. When Kawasaki was building its international reputation in the mid-20th century, the W1, W2 and W3 four-stroke parallel twins were some of the biggest machines available from any manufacturer outside Europe and ...

2024年11月12日 · Kawasaki has been super-quiet this show season, with a new Z900, Versys 1100, Ninja 1100 and… that’s about it. But get this: They showed a new machine at EICMA that sure looks like a new adventure bike is coming. The weird booth display says the bike is a new KLE, and that “Life’s a Rally. Ride it.”

Kawasaki hasn’t built a two-stroke dirt bike for the North American market since the late 2000s, when they axed the KLX250. The KLX125 died out a bit before that, and the KE100, their last street-legal two-stroke motorcycle in North America, died out in 2001, at least in the US market. The KDX trail series also died out around the mid-2000s.

2025年1月25日 · The Kawasaki KX two-stroke returns! Saturday, January 25th, just before everything kicks off at the Anaheim 2 Supercross, Kawasaki shares an abbreviated press release showing countless comments asking for a two-stroke model, and then Kawasaki replies, “We heard you” with a two-stroke revving up in the background.

2023年12月19日 · Kawasaki seems to be following Mark Twain’s advice, making continuous improvements to a great platform rather than reinventing the wheel. The 2024 Kawasaki KLX300 continues this trend, again with several minor updates rather than an all-new design. After almost 20 years, is the KLX platform getting long in the tooth, or is Kawasaki still on ...

2022年10月4日 · Kawasaki also put a new LED headlight on the front of the KLX230SM, a new front fender, and blacked out the engine, frame, swingarm, handlebars and rims. The basic bike is still going to be very much the same as the KLX230 dual sport we tested back in 2020—see the review here. US pricing for the bike is $5,299 without ABS, and $5,599 with ABS.

2024年12月9日 · Photo: Kawasaki The Gen 1 and Gen 1.5 KLRs (1987-2007) were true dual sports—slightly on the porky side, perhaps, but very rugged and solid machines. The Gen 2 (2008-2019) bikes were even more porky, with more front end plastics that hinted at on-road bias (although many riders still happily tore around off-road on them).

Kawasaki added a chromed grab bar and chain guard, and cut down the front fender. The LTD got new Goodyear tires, with white lettering straight from the hotrod scene. Instead of the stock, straightish handlebars, the Americans put on a set of pullbacks. Instead of a straight seat, the LTD got a stepped seat, with the pillion section elevated.
