2019 KX450F

Doldguy was spot on in catching the hydraulic clutch.  I don't think anyone else caught that.  With extensive work on the frame and engine, the weight is only up 2 pounds even with electric start, spring forks, and the new clutch.  Great job by Kawasaki keeping the weight down, while adding all the things that KTM has.

It even has a side access air filter.

I read on Dirt Bike that Kawasaki has decided to drop the F from the 450, because "We don't make two strokes anymore". 

(Takes Deep Calming Breath, But Still Goes on Clark Griswold Style Rant)YOU STUPID IDIOTS, MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT THESE FREAKING OVER-COMPLICATED, HEAVY, EXPENSIVE, TURDS THAT THEY CAN'T WORK ON!  AND I'M SURE THE 125 DREAM RACE AND TWO STROKE RACES POPPING UP EVERYWHERE ARE JUST A FAD!  PEOPLE WILL SURELY FORGET ABOUT A SUPERIOR PRODUCT THAT IS MORE POWERFUL BY CC, CHEAPER TO WORK ON, AND MORE FUN TO RIDE! HOLY S*@T, WHERE'S THE TYLENOL?! (Goes Back to Working on His Four Stroke to Two Stroke Conversion)

Now that I've calmed down a bit  :-D, here are the first ride impressions from Dirt Bike and MXA:

i agree with you and love kawi to have one big 2 stroke avaliable , we have 12 dirt bike in my family alone 5,  4 strokes 7, 2 strokes plus we work on bikes for a second job , i say the kxf 250 and 450 are one of the best 4 stroke to work on compared to other brands and have been very reliable, and the young fella will sell he 18 model 450 and get the 19 as soon as they get to australia, i hope they make the chain guide to last longer . and the forks sound promising.
