Nothing beats the sound of a great running 250 2 stroke!!!!
1996 sure does bring back memories I can't believe time went so fast sometimes I feel like I was robbed of my youth but I guess that's just the way it is time flies by
I don't know why but out of all the 250s throughout the years the kx 250 has always sounded like an open bike i.e. 500 . It's got such a deep throaty sound!! I'm not sure because I've never compared the specs but I would be willing to bet that the compression ratio is substantially higher 5han the other big 3
That opening just fires me up everytime
He keeps putting up these hidden-away MINT bikes... 🏁🇺🇸🏁
The '90's.. when the color purple on dirt bikes was all the craze.
I have a wr 500 now it's a legit 504 cc. 16 44 gearing porting head mods 40 mm flat slide from kx. Terra flex USA tire. Pink shock spring tourqouise seat. None of OEM stuff is on bike but still have in boxes. Ride in Dez in so cal. Never walked or towed back.
Love love love to see how pumped/excited Ken gets watchin old motocross races! He eats/sleeps/breathes this stuff!! Funny how helicopters were used to video over the motocross track,replaced by drones now.
Go brother go . Nice to see some sanity in this insane new world.
Amen brother

Yep try not dwell on the news it's just depressing...
Thats my bike ! I want it back ! Just kidding , you guys have to admit the 250 2 stroke is the perfect mix of power and precision handling. I absolutely love mine and stomp on all my friends that ride 450 4 strokes with me at the track. They can't match it.
I’d pay top dollar! This bike is so amazing! Bikes from 90-99 were my favorite the colors are sick and rare ! Much love to you guys from Atlanta
Another beautiful lawnmower! Sweet bike man; one of my faves.
Damn, I want that purple 96. It brings back the best days in mx for me.
Sr.... you're the epitome of seniors. Lol. I miss living in the Berkshires/NE. Was a great place to grow up. That being said.... You need to pack up shop, family etc. and move out here to Colorado. Many, many places to "plant your flag" and open up shop. Then you can have actual places to ride. Literally millions of acres and thousands of miles for OHV fun. Not to mention... it's the best F'ing state. Ever. Twist a grip!
Love this channel and all the badass bikes so much. Pains me to know I'll never get the chance to ride any of the bikes on this channel in the condition they're in. Always flawless.
1:05 reminds me of my dog when a car goes by 😂
These mid to late 90's KX250 motors are awesome! 👍 I have a 1999 250 💪💪💪
Iv got 99 to, bringing her back to life with 02 graphics 👍
@@empiresrikesfat Where did you get the graphics? I'm looking for oem Kawasaki graphics as well, but unfortunately they were discontinued by Kawasaki.
Another wicked MX classic. You's have them all.
nothing better than KLOTZ in the morning !!!
That KX250 is a beast, runs and looks like a brand new. love the colors of 96 kawis, my brother had 96 KX125.
I know who you are 😂💪💪💪
They are the uk graphics 😉
My dad has a RM250 i think it's a 1978 model that his friend used to race back in the day & won some championships with the bike still has the racing numbers on it & runs like a champ
U got to love the 90s 2 stroke graphics!!!💯
Brings back oh so many lovely memories, the good old days when bike's were bikes and not just 4 strokes. Lovely to here you get all excited watching them race lol me too.
Steel city was my first race as a kid. Art eckman was definitely the best
Art Eckman & David Bailey
That thing sings 😍 cheers for the inspiration boys! Just started making my own moto vlogs this past month 🤘🏼
I remember subscribing when you guys only had 300 subs. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford a bike at all right now but you guys keep my love for bikes going. Thank you SR and JR. The 96 kx250 is actually my dream bike
I have a 98 kx250 with a big bore I love the bike!!
Man you guys have some unbelievable bikes nothing left to say
That 96 is sweet brother!
Hang in there Ken you guys are mint eh 💪from Alberta Canada ✌️
Mixing gas and hauling ass!
I bought a Husqvarna 250cc 2 stroke from 1989. I didn't know bikes from the 80's had so much power, it's awesome!
Cheers from Sweden!
SWeMX Husky banana the swedish king. Tvåtakt är livet.
purple green is definitely the best color way kawasaki have ever done ,BBBBBBRRRRRAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
My fav throwback feature bike so far!
Better grab 50 pounds of grass seed....use across the street.
Not enough grass seed in the world.
I can’t wait to support- liquidating my E*TRADE account to expedite my trip to the museum faster. With a stack of cash and a tip- just hope I get senior and the entire team to christen the bike. Man that thing is gorgeous- dimepiece ! Love that word ! Ok back to the video my bad- I’ll shut up lol
Bought a 96 KX250 in 1998 as a leftover didn't like the purple but probably the most explosive bottom end Bang of a 250 motor ever not a bad top end either that thing had some power had a lot of fun with that bike
Ken Kaplan livin the dream!!🇺🇸😉🇬🇧👌🏼
Sr. Is on the PIPE! Then the intro music! EPIC!
I left this video after to go rewatch that Race from 1996 !!! man good times back then! I was still on my Kx 80 at the time of that race, being in the living room watching it on tv with my Helmet on in the house lol ! what a Dork but what kid didn't do that haha
I love the 90's vibrant colors with the purple/green/pink on the kx's. I love Honda too but the kx's just have a special place in my heart. First bike I ever had was a 99' kx100, I still have the bike to this day. Planning on restoring it soon and ripping it around some.
Just a stunner! This is one of the most amazing bikes ever built😀👍🇺🇸
That bike is absolutely beautiful.... and it sounds like it’s ready to eat something alive !!!!!
Its a purple people eater Jake!!
Absolutely true story
That sounds crisp and looks lovely
This bike is in better shape than I am.
love those bikes. the 250 2 stroke was in the 450 4 stroke class
The way they merge that purple in it !!! Soo fvkin Gorgeous!!!!
"it takes of like an absolute Rocketship "😂My cousin has this 'Rocketship' and loves it.
Awesome hole shot !!!
One-of-a-kind demos from a one-of-a-kind motor sport dealer. Kap does a decent job of putting these panty magnets through the paces. His love for these bikes is the truth serum when it comes to getting what you pay for! Top flight experience for the buyer...
I had one, first real MX bike I owned, what a blast! Good memories
Yeah baby. Finally a video where he is getting some! Two strokes forevah! I miss ripping around on them
The 90's look . God here in the uk that purple look was massive 🤣 .. everything had purple on it
On the pipe !!!! lol can’t wait to get over there to visit . Maybe SR will demonstrate 2,3 Gear starts . God bless
Ive become a big fan of your channel . My dream is to someday come and buy a bike from Ken directly !!!
Thank for posting these videos !!
This bike was by far my favorite looking dirt bike! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL colors! Always wanted one but never was able to get one!
Oh wow this is fantastic, this bike is beautiful. It's a privilege to watch your content.
Absolutely stunning bike looks brand new
Glad you mentioned the museum is closed, I was gonna take a ride down this weekend.
Bike sounds GREAT!!! Almost had that 500 bark to it!!! That's it you guys hiring?? I'm packing up and heading across the states! Lol. Keep up the awesome work guys!! The positive attitude is refreshing!!
You need to record some of your 2 strokes and then release it as an album, it would defiantly make the top ten.
It’s definitely a duck - dude can’t wait till you guys are on cable ! That purple!!! Sooo cool , I love the work orders, the information. #learning !!!! 🤝🙏🇺🇸💪🏻👍🏻
Wow super clean kx!! I'd take that over a new 450 any day👍
I have a 1982 kx 250 i absolutely love it lot of fun
Oh baby that thing sounds so gooood smile on my face the whole video!! Love this channel man 🙌🏼
Got a 97 kx250 and has power to spare. Mine has the 97 factory kawi graphics and seat cover, fmf shorty and race tech suspension. Showed the alta E bikes being demo'ed out the what for
Proppa Mint the green and purple makes this bike look absolutely lush wish I owned this mate 👍🇬🇧
Lime green and purple ! Flashy and girly !
This channel is to sell bikes yet so much more! Awesome job guys, love the detail
I got a 98 it's an absolute monster.. nice bike!
Look at that place !!! Toys r us for adults!! This is awesome
I had a 98 kx 250, it was an amazing bike, i later bought a brand new 01 cr 250, also a fast bike, probably faster than the 98 kx but it had a top end motor and the kawi had a bottom end motor but was extremely fast and handled better than my honda in my opinion.
Been on my pipe all day (munchy time )
Hahaha hell yeah man
It does sound crisp as!! Luv it !
The beginning of this video gets my heart rate into the red! Freaking awesome
Really really nice bikes yet again and Mr KAPLAN your good on a bike love it .
Thank God for 🇯🇵 japan !!! Damb that thing is beautiful- that kawi green !!
That bike sounds amazing bet it sounds better in person.
Hay guys like the vids and all the old school 2 stroke my bikes I live in new zealand and I've owned a couple my best was a cr125 98 I think 2 stroke over 4 stroke any day keep up the good work with all the vids you guys put up and stay safe with the whole covid19 stuff
Had a 96’ kx250 brand new and then bought a 2003 kx250 brand new. I loved those bikes. The 96’ was quicker from the factory than my 03’. I’m not sure if it was the suspension setup or what but, the 96’ handled whoop sections and rhythm sections much better. Eventually the 03’ got an ohlins fully adjustable shock makeover with springs and all and after that it was lights out.
A cap it's ya boy again... your shifting and the way you blast dat shit big bro...and I love and respect what you do for us and the sport😈😈😈👍
What a beauty Ken 👍🏻 💜96 purple Kx250💚 🙏🏻 😍 Kawasaki
Ohhh hell yeah !!! Nice wheelie !!! That was dope !!!
My dad looped the same exact bike in front of me in a corn field while riding a wheelie back on 97.....I was chasing him on my Kx100....shattered his ankle lol
would love to see this drag race some modern yz250's hell even the older ones.. a few 500's swap riders etc... would make a great video.. keep it up, love the videos!
Oh I guarantee you Sr on the pipe with a honda or kx would smoke all the modern 4 strokes today.
I own the 98 version running perfectly and it’s just as fast as ktm 350 in a straight line but a 450 ktm is just faster, if we want it to be true or not
I have a 98 kx 250 and a 2015 ktm 350 the kx is so much more fun to ride
Same year as my CR500 and my SVT Cobra..
love me some 1990z / early 2000s kx250 ....pepppy as hell...maken it look good SR.
Got one myself classic
Purple power 💪 🔥🔥🔥💥💨
Always loved the colour way on the kx
Absolutely love the Green Machines! 2Strokes rule!
Yeah this motorcycle is a great idea for a responseable 17 year old... but I’m not sure if I wanna go back .. used to run a 1990 cr 250.... currently xr650l but never again with an explosive 2 cycle much too much for a 47 year old man but the kids will love it
I had the exact same bike. She was a beast
I had a 96 new. The blue purple tanks always were a love hate relationship...but the 96 decals were pretty cool. I was 14 at the time. Prob should of kept me 96 along with my 97 cr125
Mixin gas and hauling ass
love your videos Sr
Love that green and purple!
Sure is nice to have that property with some dirt to test on.
Thats is beautiful for a 96 wow!
That's a awesome bike!
Nice bike !!! Like the open face helmet
Beautiful bike Ken
