    Kawasaki KFX450 - for real this time!

    Yes, it's officially real! Kawasaki has released only two pics and a few tidbits of info, but from what came out, it looks like the 450 class will be very interesting next year.

    Finally, a GREEN 450 in a sea of blue, red, and yellow.

    Very cool! The sport is getting more diverse every year. Lets hope we do not repeat what happened in the 80's when it was booming. KTM is supposedly working on their quad as is Can-Am (formerly Bombardier)

    will be nice to see all of the big four on the racing screen again. kinda reminds me of the days of jimmy white and team green, gary denton on his team zuk qracer, marty hart or steve wright on their factory hondas, and who ever road a yami, lol. i always loved the kawis, wether it be the tecate 3 or 4 or the mocats in the late 80's and modified mojaves, they were baddass looking, all of them were.

    1996 YSF240 Blaster - maxxed out!!!

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"

    If you take a close look at the front end shot,they are mocking the DVX front fenders as far as they are un screwed to be race style.SWEET!! I think that is a sweet alternative,wish all the atv manufacturers would do that.
