heres a link to the new kawi 450. had another link but can't find it. also suposed to have an alum. frame and electric starting

There is atleast 4 threads on this site that show pics, try the search ;)

when exactly is it coming out?

after looking at the link rancher posted, i wonder if it really will come out, In every pic i see of this bike, the shocks are always different, I have seen it with 450r based shocks, piggy back shocks, and lt-r based shocks. I doubt they change that around that much to just be coincedence.

the shocks look the same in all the pics?

It should come out considering it has the YFZ, 450R, and LTR to keep up with =x

No, i have seen that same style pic, but it had lt-r shocks.

Everything I know on it is listed in my 2007 quads post which will be bumped by time you read this..

i saw pics in dirtwheels atv scene the link on this thread and a few other sites i forgot and they were all the same pics with the same shocks, i dont no what site ur seein the ltr shocks at?  the front pic looks a little fake but the pic of the engine deffinitly looks real

looks like their will be a good chance a kawi 450 is coming out. 

holy crap is that really it??!!?

Crazy, yet very sneaky photographer......... Looks sweet from that view...

does it have a suzuki motor??  kawi badge in  if so its the lt-r  zuki in lime green

no its a completyly new bike. i dont think its anything like the suzuki. i think its set up more to the woods racing scene.

Suzuki and kawasaki are no longer in the partnership I dont think..

I wouldnt mind seeing one and sitting on it... I might like it.

that's what she said. lol!!!

LOL thats funny right there, i dont care who you are!

don't knwo why folks say it will be set up for woods racing cause thats what they said about the z400 and the kfx 400 just because  it has reverse there are some of us that don't like to push our mess  to  turn around in tight areas. then there are the ones that arent  full throtel mx and like to  ride trails and that lovely reverse comes in handy. so i think it will be right up there with all of them on the mx track. and no it want have anythign to do with  suzuki because they had a big fall out over the  design  so they are makin them seperate

When they make a sport quad.. they design it to compete with other quads and then put it into production because that is all the pro's are allowed to use these days is production quads. The reverse option was definatly geared towards the 450 rider who didnt like getting off and pushing their bike back.. I dont know what you have seen, but from the MX tracks I have been to, there is way more than enough room to turn around a corvette if needed. So that is why people are thinking it would be geared to the 450 racing GNCC riders for when they clip a tree or hop a rut and have to back out.

Someone on here has got to know a friend or brother in law of a dealer somewhere. Please find out when it comes out.

the kfx400 is no longer on kawasakis line up...
