KAWASAKI INTRODUCES 2006 MOTORCYCLES AND ATVs

Kawasaki has taken the wraps off its KX™ competition and off-road motorcycle lines, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and select street bikes for 2006.

Among the many exciting models unveiled is the highly anticipated KX450F, Kawasaki’s new flagship motocross bike. Built with performance, durability and reliability in mind, the KX450F features a slim and lightweight aluminum frame, and a liquid-cooled four-stroke engine with the best peak performance in its class.

Also unveiled is the four-stroke KX250F motocrosser, which features an all-new aluminum frame and suspension, new styling, and a revised powerplant that provides more usable torque and an extended powerband that will keep it ahead of the competition.
