Great memories...Loved the 85' KX's....I remember when the 1990's came out and being amazed at what Kawasaki had done.....1990 was a really bold, the perimeter frame really set the standard and we still see it today...Question, Did the reliability of the 2006 KX improve over the 80's and 90's KX's ? I remember even the bolts would just break on their own in the 80's.

I personally think the 97 250 was the best looking because I had one. But in reality of all good looking MX bikes, Kawasaki does not leave you the best to choose from IMO. All through the 70's, 80's and half the 90's, it was one or two of the other colors that turned the most heads. It made Jeff Ward a bit of a loaner.

The 1996 Kawasaki KX's with the purple tanks are like the most sought after year of the bikes. Especially these days when all the 80's, 90's stuff coming back in style. I also happen to have a 1996 KX60 with the purple tank & shroud. I love it. Great little bike, with some mods.

The 1990 kx 250 was a good pick when that thing came out it was the hottest bike on the market it made the other bikes look ancient. But you missed a few the 83 and 84 kx 80s were so cool looking it made my 82 yz 80 irrelevant over night and that 84 kx 125 looked just like wards bike still love that rear fender. How about those first kx 250s 1978 79 they were cutting edge with the green shocks and gold swingarm. I also love the looks of the kx500 1985 i wanted one of those bad as well as the 1992 500 it was the desert king looked like a baja bike to me just needed a light. I also liked the 82 kx 125 first disc brake water cooled and for some reason back then i liked that numberplate fender it looked European to me.but tha #1 pick I bought a 2015 kx450f right when the 2016 came out they were sitting side by side and thought the 15 looked better not to mention it was way faster.

In 83 I had a support ride with Honda racing the 250 pro class. I got hurt late in the year and did not receive another ride in 84 because I wasn't heald by the start of the year. Kawasaki gave me bikes and parts and they were such trash I gave them back and bought my own Honda. Kawasaki = Trash. Look how many KXs are on the gate at Anaheim 1. Next to none.
