Kawasaki KX 250 reviews

This bike is the best in the 100 class. It is reliable, fast, and comfortable. I have had it for a while and it has given me no troubles at all. It is so fast! Just a little gas and your gone. Bye bye Honda's and hello finish line! I would recommend it to smaller people. If you want something good. Keep oil changed and have fun! Show less

I have an '02 KX 125 and the thing is incredible. Everyone who has ridin it loves it and they all ride RMs, YZs and CRs and they think the KX has much better suspension and is easier to ride. Compared to all of the bikes I rode, the KX is in my own opinion better, because no other 125 is as comfortable or as easy to ride than the KX. Show less

I have had this bike for awhile now. It is a great bike and has lasted me along time. It has great power and performs great overall. If you're looking for a mini ripper, the KX80's and KX85's are the bikes for you. Show less

I've BEEN RIDING FOR A WHILE AND THIS HAS TO BE THE FUNNEST BIKE I HAVE EVER RIDDEN. IT HAS A LOT OF TORQUE AND POWER. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SMALLER SIZE BIKE WITH THE SAME POWER AS A 125, THIS IS THE BIKE FOR YOU. IT GETS BIG AIR ON GOOD JUMPS AND HAS LIGHTNING FAST ACCELERATION. Show less

Wow! Want power? Want performance? Want control? This bike has it all. After riding this powerhouse for a few hours, my skills increased tremendously. I understand how this bike makes you a better rider. It demands your full attention. I am glad to say, "Kawasaki, still lets the good times roll." Show less

This is the best bike I've ever ridden. Everything about it is plush: suspension, shifting, and the seat. It has a meaty lowend and a honkin mid range that glides right into an amazing top end. Show less

I've had this bike for about two years and it is awesome. I bought it from a guy that raced it about six times. He put quite a bit of work into it and he kept it in good condition. When I got it all i did was put new exhaust on because he took his old exhaust off. I use it for trails and in the sand pits. It is really fun on the trails and the suspension on it is nice. If anyone reading this is considering buying one, I would strongly recommend buying it. It is a blast to ride!! Show less

I am almost 14 and I just got on the 2003 KX 85. I got my first bike a year ago, it was a 2002 KX 65, and my friends and I were blown away with the quickness and power. Once I kind of rode that to death and out-grew it, I traded it in for a 85 and it brought me even more thrills. I built a track and was able to rip past all my friends on it. I could go through almost any bog, and could rip up any hill. The big wheels helped a lot and the size is perfect. I can wheelie in any gear, and pull off huge air when I get going fast. Yup this is the perfect bike for me. Show less

Just got the bike yesterday, used, it hadn't been used much over the last year or two at all, and at first the bike seemed a bit boggy. After about 20 minutes around my woods track, the thing seemed to clear right out and ran like an all out champ! The engine performance was great, very good power from the upper-lower range right up through the top. Much of the riding I was in the mid-range, which seemed healthy and snappy. I noticed that the shifting is very easy and smooth on this unit. No notchy shifting or missed gears. As a matter of fact it shifted so smooth sometimes that I didn't know for sure if I had shifted!! Very nice. Bike kicked over very easy. Ergonomics wise its a good bike as well. It isnt extremely tall, a good height for me it seems. There was a few times that the pipe felt a bit fat and hit my leg and there were one or two times that my boot got hung up a little on the rear sidepanels, but nothing horrible. The bike felt light, and pretty slim in its mid section. Suspension and handling, well its a bit stiff for the woods being a motocross bike so I cant really say anything bad. I kinda like having a firmer suspension though, even in the woods. I feel faster on a firm bike then I would on a mushy suspended bike! It handled well and it wasnt deflected easily off of obsticles, it kept its line very well! The thing is also very nimble and quick handling making it good in the technical stuff! I cant really rate the reliability because I only had it for a day, but if its anything like my KX 80 was, it should be practically bullet proof. That 80 had ZERO problems the 4 seasons I rode it! Its a good looking bike too, with the Chevy Trucks graphics, and the body work flows pretty good when ya look at it. The only thing strange are the KX signiture Shoulderless Rims! I think that this bike will provide great enjoyment for the riding I mostly do on my backyards woods track! Show less

I am a female rider and recently got a 2003 KX 125. It is awesome! I am loving every moment of it. I went from a CRF 150 to the KX. Some people told me that I wouldn't be able to handle it and 2 strokes aren't great in trails. I went for the plunge and am enjoying every bit of it. This bike really improved from the previous years and it is really light. It has great handling and moves well with my body. It is also smaller than other brands so it works well for my size.
