Is the KX450 Fixed? - 2025 Kawasaki KX450 | First Impression

Yep, it's already that time of the year. 2025 models are officially rolling off the assembly line and into our hands. We recently ventured out to Fox Raceway to spend our first day at the track with the 2025 Kawasaki KX450. Following a morning on track with the slightly updated machine, we mic'd up Rene Garcia and Tallon Lafountaine to see what they had to say about the new KX450!

I have a 24 and definitely nothing needs fixing. So smooth and easy to ride.

Obviously the stock bike is behind the world championship bike, but Kawasaki have done a great job producing a bike that all abilities can ride fast and safely

I have a ‘23 KX450f. Great bike but I have now hit 65hrs and it likely needs a top end rebuild. Thing shit the bed at the track 3wks ago. Made crazy engine sounds, gave it a small rev and it turned off. Never came back on..

Front "Is it grabbing, is it going to go?" IMO this is a kx feeling since the beginning of time, all their bikes have gave me question entering turn a few seconds later and you know one way or the other. Some ppl dont seem to notice it idk if its rider size or a riding style or just some dont recognize that feeling, its one of 2 main reasons i got away from kawis i felt like that uncertainty was slowing me down whereas my style was to really press hard into entries. For me if I could have cured one of my two issues with their bikes id have never left them because outside that I really liked them.
