2018 History Kawasaki KX And KXF - 1963 Kawasaki B8M
The 1963 Kawasaki B8M (sometimes referred to as the “red-tank Kawasaki) stands as the first production motocross machine from Japan.
The B8M was created solely to compete in the Japanese Motocross Championships by Kawasaki engineers which took a stock Kawasaki B8 and modified it by changing the forks, seat, adding handlebars with a cross bar, raised expansion chamber, knobby tires. A later version was made with "Kawasaki" stretching the length of the fuel tank without knee grips. The success of the B8M lead to the development of the Kawasaki F21M for 1968. (wikipedia)
