@off spec you never know, but your probably right, I can't compete with Kaplan America. I just found a mint condition 99 model KX250, only $5000 and less than 50ks away. That'll do me, I'm off to the bank. ( that's $5000, AUD too, so probably 4G of your money).
The actual LAST one is a 2008 KX250 assembled, boxed and leave the production line is owned by an Australian Bodyguard who looked after Mr Kawasaki Shozos family members. It was signed on the mud guards by all the retiring workers, personnel, QC, and factory bosses. (Yes they also supplied new fenders with the bikes incase the owners didnt want or wanted to save) It also came from factory with a Factory Fitted PC pipe, silencer and 20 other specialist parts given to Kawasaki by suppliers like DID, Rental etc The 3rd last to leave the factory was not boxed and was sent to Mitch Payton at Pro Curcuit for all his help and dedication to Kawasaki during Kawasaki racing... The 2nd last to leave wasn't boxed either, didn't have the signatures on guards, nor supplier parts on it, it was fully assembled and taken to the Kawasaki Museum..
Thank god i invested in a 2007 KX 250 two stroke, since they stoped the production in 2008. Virtually the same as the 2005 kx 250, but nevertheless only one owner. Will rebuild the bike from the ground and up to make a RC factory replica from 2001 but in the modern chassi. The kawasaki green, nothing beats it!
Nice! Sure miss my 02 KX 250 that a friend of mine bought brand new. He rode it once and said he didn’t like it. So , I traded him a YZ426 and an old jet ski straight up. ✊🏼
I would like to see a comeback of the 2 stroke 250r and 500r quads. One of the funest machines that I've ever ridden was a Honda 2 stroke 250r fourtrax. Hopefully, one day....🤞🙂
I’ll never understand the few thumbs down 👎 that some people put on every Kaplan video 🙄 it’s the best Moto channel on TH-cam, period. Find something else to do with your lives besides hating on people for no reason. #jealousyisabitch
The last KX250s were made in 2008 for Australia (see below) but going by the serial number on this bike and others KK have, both look like they could be one of the last 5 that arrived in the USA in 2007...still collector units and investments if looked. after. Kawasaki in 2008 actually made 401 KX250s through Feb/Mar 2008.. The actual very LAST one made under Kawasaki's heavy industries (KHI) licence a 2008 KX250 assembled, boxed and leave the production line is owned by an Australian Bodyguard who looked after Mr Kawasaki Shozos family members. Its was signed on the mud guards by all the retiring workers, personnel, QC, and factory bosses. (Yes they also supplied new fenders with the last 10 bikes incase the owners didnt want or wanted to save) It (and the last 10) also came from factory with a Factory Fitted PC pipe, silencer, and 20 other special parts given to Kawasaki by suppliers like DID, Rental etc The 3rd last one to leave the factory in 08 was boxed and was sent to Mitch Payton at Pro Circuit for all his help and dedication to Kawasaki during Kawasaki racing and is in the Pro Circuit Kawasaki museum. The 2nd last to leave the factory in 08 wasn't boxed, didn't have the workers signatures on guards, nor the supplier parts on it, it was fully stock, fully assembled and taken to the Kawasaki Museum..in Kobe, Japan. The remaining 2008 models were sent mostly to Australia, NZ, and UK got around 60 sent to the dealers as a thank you, although most dealers didn't keep them and sold them off.. Also a large number of private Kawasaki collectors all around the world are believed to have bought a good number of the remaining 2008s as investments.
Where I grew up in rural farmland when we weren’t riding dirt bikes all you heard was this off in the distance. Each and every day! Everybody rode dirt bikes in the 80’s! Nice KX!
In 1996 I was lucky enough to have my first brand new dirt bike!!!!!! It was a KX 250 bought from ARLINGTON TEXAS cooper street. But the best dirt bike I ever owned was a YZ250 that I built for cross country racing, I went through a place in keller TX called cycle suspension. Once the bike was dialed in you could basically keep it pinned 4 and 5 in the woods safely all day long, only bounced off a couple trees a few times LOL 🤪 definitely the best bike I have ever owned. 🤠👍
I just scored a bargain yesterday, mint 99 KX250. When I rode it, I thought this is fucken powerful,( it scared me initially) I'm used to my WR250F! Anyway, I looked it up, they claim 53.6hp from a 99 KX250! Only 30 odd from my 4 stroke WR250. 100Kgs and 53 hp, stock. So much more fun to ride too than my docile WR. Back in the day, we wanted more power, racing we'd be reving the fuck out of it, throwing it around, basically wringing it's neck trying to get every bit of hp we could. But now I'm older, It's scary fast. Amazing how things changed as I got older.
In Australia we had them till 2008, correct me if im wrong but Europe got them for alot longer? Ive have a 2006 that i bought brand new in 2008. Ive ride and race it most weekends it got 150hrs on it nothing gone wrong with it, cylinder is as new. Keep the filter new and clean used high quality 2stroke oils change gear box and they'll last a life time. That amount of riders that come to see me at the track are in ore of it, its fringing sick to ride and sounds even better. Kawasaki bring'em back 🇦🇺🇺🇸
it’s a rippa yet again no messin from kaplin absolute power band time Honda man my self but first bike was a kx can’t nock them there up there with the big boys as shown at it fullest top end again from mr America 🇺🇸 💪💪💪👏🙌👌😎👍🔥🔥🔥
Man I got a 1990 RM250 That Im doing a custom/restore to mimic the 1992 RM250 but with a powder coated purple frame to go with the graphics and I also have a 1996 YZ250 that is currently rebuild, Just watching you guys ripping around on these mint bikes make me want to hurry up and get them going :)
I have my 02'Yz250 and my 99'Kx250.... both 2strokers I will never get rid of! But if I did, they would go to you guys where they would get tucked in at night, as they should be!! Love you guys and cant wait to come visit!!
Pretty nice, 4 stroke dirt bikes have really improved but still don't run or get rebuilt cheap like a 2 stroke. You can get out your dremel and make soo much power using a little elbow grease and time on 2 strokes. Growing up on 2 stroke dirt and street bikes the only thing I like about 4 strokes is on the road bikes you can keep a constant speed going, where 2 strokes always like to accelerate LOL, never got pulled over on 4 strokes, always on 2 stroke road bikes. 😆😅😂🤣
Love the channel, love the two strokes, but you guys go alittle to hard on the 4 strokes, tons of 450s go 100 hrs before even needing a top end, if you do regular maintenance and don't get a rare grenade they are really reliable. I have both.
Hopefully that was TRUE!! He was scared of the rocket ship (The Kx 250), versus an old-lady scenario??, ME (a family with grouchy old-lady😵), or that Motocross Super Bike!!!😮😮😮
Hey, I have a 2009 KX250F w a '98 500 motor. I would LOVE one of Kristie's graphics kits. I ride it all the time, lay it down in the dirt, so I would want 2 or 3 of them? How much she charge? Something similar to that, but KX500 on the 250f frame/plastic platform. Can you say how much she would charge? Thanks!
Aint nothing like the smell of BeNOLLLLLLLL!!!! IN THE MORNIN'!!!! #2StrokeNation #BringEmBack #MakeAmericaSmokeAgain! "If you hear the ping, and you see the smoke..... you just got passed by a 2 STROKE!!"
There’s just something about a Kawasaki KX 250 engine that sounds so sweet
Truth
@@davem145mxr 😂👍. Ikr, like these goofs could tell the difference if they were blindfolded. 🙄
@@davem145mxr lol no way kx got more top end and grunt sound
I never drank the four stroke cool aid. Love this bike.
My uncles got one in the box, I’ll send him your way in 10 years when he wants to sell it 😄
I'll be waiting
I'll give ya double what they offer in 10years.

Pure beautiful music. Fuck I miss that sound of 250 2 strokes.
That 250 is badass
What a Kelly Rippa !
Long live the 2 stroke!
Ken Kaplan 2024 !!!
dont know which one i ride harder kelly rippa or this kx 250......both at the same time....
Some of the best graphics ive ever seen. Great attention to detail
Best sound ever. I had an 03. With the right suspension this bike is super fun.

Is the 2005 like this just as bad ass ?
I'm not much of a Kawasaki fan, they sure have the best sounding two strokes though.
@Marc Poindexter im a Kx guy and I don't care much for Rm's!
Kx two strokes number 1 Yamaha is right next to it. I’ve had plenty of rm two strokes the 80 cc was their best rendition
Nice looking for a KX🤫 don’t tell my old race buddy 399 wow awesome job Christie👍
now that's a rippa,definitely a dime piece like you said Sr. I dont see that one hanging around long. God Bless America. 🇺🇸
Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, SR. is an equal opportunity shredder.
Where I grew up in rural farmland when we weren’t riding dirt bikes all you heard was this off in the distance. Each and every day! Everybody rode dirt bikes in the 80’s! Nice KX!

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!
Ladies and gents if this dont tickle your fancy then you are simply soul-less 😂 HELL YEAH!!!
I remember my days of racing the kx 100. Shit ripped but this thing is gold! Will never buy a 4 stroke again. Two strokes all day
Graphics look modern and cool! I'm sure can do old school too! STP baby lol, good for her look forward to see more!
First bike I ever rode was a KX500. Almost died. Those 250’s were sweet.
Always liked the KX's with the Split Fire and Chevrolet graphics

I just love how 2 strokes just sound like a hornet flying by at full speed. Just complete badass
That n the sound doesn’t travel for miles n piss everyone off
I got a 2001 kx250 2stroke. Just rebuilt the top end and got 2020 plastics for it
love the green machines the look n sound awesome hell jr i in good enough shape keep that bike n race 250 class to
love the kx 250!
Bout to fix up my 99 kx250 bayby
Beautiful bike. I have a 2007 kx450f...rips just like this one.
Junior would smoke em on that on👌
Yep I think he'd be faster on a 250
I would kill for bike like that right now ooh the sound
Привет ! Хороший мотоцикл . Лайк 8.
Why do 2-strokes knock so loudly when idling?
Thats just the sound of combustion happening in a small engine, no knock
That kx rattle is the power valve system on them. My 03 does a similar sound
Love the channel, love the two strokes, but you guys go alittle to hard on the 4 strokes, tons of 450s go 100 hrs before even needing a top end, if you do regular maintenance and don't get a rare grenade they are really reliable. I have both.
I put 192 hours on one if my yz450 four stroke and it waa perfect...and o won 16 championships on one over 6 years.
I rebuilt my 525 exc with 65000km on the clock & flog it everytime I get on it lol. Wasn't cheap to rebuild though
That sounds so SWEET!
Dunno what’s better that bike or the house 😅
Man that’s awesome!
Do you ship to Australia
Kaplan any tips, on Saturday I’m gonna ride a sherico 250 2 stroke and I’m on a 125 now
