Several motocross magazines hailed the 2005 Kawasaki KX250 as one of the best all-around two-stroke motocross bikes due to its sheer power, ideal handling and superb brakes. As one magazine said, "The 2005 KX250 is phenomenal!" And while it’s sometimes difficult to improve on a winner, Kawasaki has succeeded in making the KX250 even better for 2006 by fine tuning the engine, suspension and brakes. |
