New Pics of KX450F

[Satch0922]

thanks! Great pictures. Wonder why they are guarding the 450 but the 250 is out in plain site? Is there a new motor in the 450 like the rumors would have you believe?

im not sure. i didnt see it out on the track either.kawasaki was more than happy to show off thier stuff though.

the kx 450 motor is different than the rmz. how different, im not really sure.

one more strange piece of info, yamaha was the "only" team to field works 250 2 strokes...all the other teams ran works 4 strokes.there were other production 2 strokes out there, but only yamaha had works bikes...

Great pics man! If those were from a cell phone, who needs a digital camra!

Tat was strange that they had the YZ450 blocked off like that. Wonder what Yamaha has up their sleeve?

i think they were trying to tease everyone.when the crf450 was raced for the 1st time,it was in the truck until it was time to line up, then they had it wrapped in towlels so noone could get a pic. i think yhe alum. framed yzf450 has a different engine, and they didnt want anyone to see it yet...i talked with one of the riders, and he said it is very light...the #38 kx250f i think is the working model for the production line. it was the only one without all the titanium goodies of the other kxf's...who knows, maybe i got the 1st pic of it... everyone else was concerned with the bling of the works bikes, and kinda passed that one up...anyway,its been a long day, and i think im gonna go pass out for a few before work in the morning.

i will also be at the world gp in sugo on may29th. i'll try to get more pics while im there.at the all japan nationals,the pits are open to the public. im not sre about the gp's though.if need be,i'll try to scam a pit pass...whoever is running the gp's is a rip off artist. $55 for a 1 day ticket... im thinking i will try to find a more "creative" way into the race...

nice pics! sorry to ask I'm sure ya get asked all the time but could you please PM me the details on how the upgrade to your 2nd gen frame that was required. The current bike is an '01 CR 250 being turned into a CR500AF

[kuritaro9]

sorry man, i dont have any idea what would be needed to stick a 500 into a 250 frame.you could check with service honda though...maybe they could help.

[wamxp1mp]

no thats not what I meant how did ya get the '02 body work on there looks like ya used '02 subframe/seat/plastics is that an '02 tank also? We know what it takes to get the motor in the frame I was just curious how ya got that body work on there. I should of been alittle more clear in what i was asking.

[kuritaro9]

the only thing i had to weld was the lower side panels mounts on the 01 subframe. here is a link to the thread...

my01 to 02+ conversion is complete
