So who's going to build the first KX500AF?
teamgreen500:
Well...
The Time is Upon us...(said in Correct English so as to NOT require Translation FOR/BY "Demographic" :D)
I'm involved in Sponsoring a rider for the '06 Nationals; therefore, we'll be getting 4 Bikes and tearin' one down for parts...specifically...an Engine for Shipping "to" and "from" the week to week destinations (We'll be leavin' the bike with other-folks and shippin' our motors back-n-forth between the Engine Builder and the "Race-Track"...this allows us to Fly Home, Leave the Bike in the Region that we'll be racin' in for a few weeks/months and still have Fresh Motors EVERYWEEK!!! Often bringin' them along as "Luggage"! :wink: )
So...guess what that means?
We won't have to wait too long for yours-truly to stuff a K5 motor in a K4.5 frame!
I saw this coming when I was at a test in Japan last November.
We took some measurements off the 450 last-nite and guess what?
PLENTY OF ROOM!
Brrrrraaaaaaaap!
hughes:
Any chance the kx500 will be back? Did you see Kawasaki Engineers looking at putting a 500cc in the new kx450 frame while you where in Japan?
teamgreen500:
No...I was there on biz and dropped in on a Test Session of an early "Beta-Version" of the current bike.
The 500 is dead.
Long live the King.
It'll be a Helluva "After-Market" from here on out!
BTW...there's no F'n way I'm callin' it an "A/F"...ain't gonna happen!
It'll be an SR500TG! HA!
