  • The sound, the smell, the vibes.. it's old-school all the way with the awesome, old-school Kawasaki KX500. The only production Japanese 500 to come with a power valve, the mean green machine is like nothing else on the planet.
    MotoHead's resident two-stroke fanatic Dave Willet rides an immaculate example of the KX and compares it to a modern bike.

    I Have a 1990 Kawasaki KX250. I Guess there's only 1 More Step. Your KX500 Looks like A Rocketship to Heaven.

    I used watch Jeff ward kick ass on a kx500. Used wonder how does he ride it. Five foot six 135 pounds. I was that size on a 80.

      A good 250 2t is all you need, fast, light, and less vibration.

    What year is it? I have a 2000 KX 250 and it looks very similar. I've just been holding on to mine, I can't part with it. I bought it new, love it.

    I wish Kawasaki would have followed suit with their 500s in the 90s. Don’t get me wrong the outdated 500 looked good but it would have looked so much better in a square perimeter framed chassis with better plastics.

    If I had an extra kx500'engine I'd put it in my 1st gen atc250r. Mount radiator like 82 yz250 on front forks.

    I had an early 00's KX500, it was such a blast. I used it for single track mainly and you rarely had to shift it because 3rd would do everything.
