Title: TransworldMX Service Kawasaki KX500AF
Post by: AJ on July 23, 2009, 10:47:55 AM
August 2009 issue of Transworldmotocross magazine has a nice article on the KX500AF.


the test riders lap times were an average of 3 seconds a lap faster
on the 500AF,
than on  his own personal KX450F.
so a pretty good review! :)

 watch TransworldMX in future issues for a poster/pin up of the bike as well!

Yeah I was all excited to put a nice poster of a KX500AF up in my garage...NEGATIVE, the issue comes with some sorry ass CRF.  Oh well, the girl wasn't hot enough for a 500AF anyways.  Somebody (AJ?) let us know when they got the KX500 on the poster...I want it.  And I'm not buying every issue just to find it.

...oh I'd also like to mention the Tokyomods YZ450F they race tested that issue was an $11,115 bike.  Yup $115 more than the KX500AF when you consider the initial cost of the YZF.

...I guess splitting the two coverages up does make sense when you put it that way lol  And I'll buy EVERY issue TWMX publishes with 500 coverage.  I'm just not buying the others.
