    I now an old timer who use to race KX 250 back in 89 era. My last bike was a 2009 KX 250 and it brought back old memories and I loved it. I have no interest in riding any more but your review was so grass roots and real I almost feel like buying one. Good work man! That's what a review should be. Honest!! You can ride too which is an added bonus.

      Same here, my last bike was a 1989 KX 250… I am 48 years old now. Over the past two years I have restored a 1985 CR 250....
      I want to ride it like it should be written, but it’s a classic, I am selling it. I have never ridden a 450 4 stroke… But I might just bite the bullet...

    Being that I'm more of an enduro rider and can't just pull off the track into the pits like you would at a mx track if you have a problem with the electric start, the lack of a kick start backup is kind of off-putting. Makes sense to save a smidge of weight for racing, not so much due to the lack of redundancy as youd be out of the race if the starter failed and you couldn't bump start it and or again in the case of enduro riding you'd be stranded.

    what you mean old fashioned thats what a dirt bikes supposed to look like reminds me of the way the plastic on my 2000 kx125 is and its been quit rugged and reliable these past almost 20 years of beating up the trails seen simple crashes blow pieces of plastic of so called more modern bikes and like you said they went back to a spring front fork which goes to shoe some old tried and true tech is sometimes better. I started riding on an old 72 ts100 so I might be easily impressed though.

    Title says why its a big deal??? What really would be a big deal if Kawasaki was introducing an all new KX 250 or better yet a 300 "2STROKE" MX bike. Not a freaking woods or endro bike but a motocross bike. Now that would be a big deal.. Then the average person could actually afford parts for a top end or exhaust system . Cost of anything related to the motor on a 4stroke is bull $h!+ .. That's why you can find a 4stroke for so cheap . that's also why the price of a older 2stroke have benn going up. They are easier and cheaper to work on plus fun as hell to ride...
