A 300cc or (even 350cc) bike with 2 versions - KX300 track bike and a KDX300 woods weapon. Same chassis but application specific valving. Kickstand, 18" wheel, proper off road lighting setup on the KDX. Both FI, e-start, but keep it premix.

[@seuvagem1950]

I hope they have better fuel consumption than the YZ. The fact that Yamaha launched the YZX with the same fuel tank as the MX bike was already an insult, now with the latest model, it got even worse with the smaller tank! But besides that, the consumption of the Yamaha engine is very high compared to any European of the last 15 years, including those with carburetors! Which makes them use ridiculously large fuel tanks on Yamahas.

[@100kgrowroom6]

I seen a video online that looked legit. The guy was pointing out how the new 2025 model 250/450 has spots on the frame for new motor mounts. And they redesigned the front tube that comes off the steering stem that branches off and goes under the engined. The spot it branches off at is higher this year, which would allow for a 2 stroke expansion chamber to come out of the front. Makes sense they would reuse a frame already in use instead of developing a completely new one

[@mxmes1]

The MX market is very limited and competitive, the growing market is the off-road bush riders guys which would buy good numbers of KDX 200 and KDX 300 models. Needs electric start, side stand, 18” rear wheel, and not too high in the seat. Needs to be a real off-road bike, not a 2 stroke version of the KLX range

It will be interesting to see what route they choose. I’m thinking enduros would be their best money makers.

Plus GYTR parts for hard enduro, for the current 250X would most likely come first. Either way having the Japanese interested in reviving 2 strokes is a win.

[@evsnetwork]

If it were my call I would launch a 65(updated), 150, 300 and 500. Carb on the 150 and injection on the bigger bikes, e-start on all of them. The 125/250 combo is nostalgic but if they’re not going to be raced in the main classes then may as well go 150/300 for a broader powerband that is more fun to play around with. The 500 would be to appeal to those riders who don’t want to pay 10-20k for the 20 year old CR/KX 500s and ideally have two maps, one that is mellow and makes use of the torque and one that is old school savage. Hopefully it also sends the old school 500 prices back to where they were pre-2020. I could also see them just doing a 150/350 release so the 350 bridges the gap between the old 250/500 models. Either way I’m just excited to see more two strokes on the market.

Since it is a big step for a youngster to go from a 85/105/112 big wheel to a 250 two or four stroke, I would rather see a 125 first, but at the same time they do need to update the 65/85/112 and add 50. A 250 could have a powerparts 300 head, cylinder, and piston available.

[@JaredKraus]

As a kx 500 rider for 25 years, #1 option has to be a counter balanced motor. Yamaha had a balanced motor on their early 90's WR 200 2 strokes. Why they didnt expand on this I will never know. Hopefully Kaw brings out a 300. Counter balanced, 6 speed, electric and back up kickstarter. Fi i could careless. I run a smart carb from the boys in Kansas City.

[@Natedoc808]

[@TechBug-t5d]

I think it will probably be an enduro model, probably around 250/300cc. Basically an updated KDX 200. The enduro market is currently the biggest market for 2-strokes, so this makes the most sense from a business standpoint. I always believed manufacturers could sell more Enduro bikes if they made them street-legal, as this gives the customer more areas to ride and helps appeal to a wider audience. Most Enduro bikes used to come street-legal from the factory, and they sold like hotcakes. Unless it's direct-injected or Kawi figures out a new way to re-vamp the 2-stroke engine to be better on emissions without fancy electronic injection systems, it will most likely not be street-legal, unfortunately. However, they can try what Beta did and include lights, speedo, horn, etc, and pre-wiring for blinkers to make it easier for customers to register their bikes for street use down the line. I believe more people will buy the bikes if they do this. The KDX lineup could range from 50 to 500cc for desert riders. Also, if Kawasaki ever decides to revive the KFX line, they could just use the KDX engines and tweak them for use in a sport quad. That way they'll have a unique product on the market and also finally provide competition to Yamaha's sport ATV. KFX 500 anyone?

[@rostifardian]

To satisfy all the dreams, here’s the ultimate new Kawi 2-stroke list. KX50,65,85,112,125 motocross bikes. All new and updated. Best to take care of the young kids and up-and-comers. KX250- maybe new, OR maybe a re-release of the old model at a great price would be freakin killer. A KX250 isn’t competing with the 4-stroke motocrossers, so just make a good bike at a great price for the average dude. Then an all new KDX line. 200 with a 220 big bore kit option to satisfy the OG KDX fans, then a 250 with 300 big bore to better compete with European off-road models. KYB suspension. E-start WITH KICKSTART TOO. Carb. Kickstand. SOFT SEAT. And a headlight, or at the very least, wiring behind the number plate to add a headlight if wanted.
