Some scans of my TransWorld MX Mag August 2009

Service Kawasaki KX500AF- still way too much $$ for me. Looks cool though!

Ya I know its not a Honda, which is why I didn't post this in the AF section. Figured you all might like to see the Kawi version from AJ.

That's a sweet ride. Chuck Sun has a write up on it in the new MXA.

not sure if its the exact bike or not but they tested one in another magazine couple months ago......the fabrication work looked like dog poo.

The trannys are made out of soft cheese in the KX5.........

Hay i take no offense to that. I always run 120's and still have'nt had trans or clutch problems. 1 top end in 6 or 7 years(1 top end since i bought the bike new, cant remeber
if i bought it in 02 or 03) i've gone through more pipes than pistons. tranny oil changes every couple of years with ATF and the clutch
pull is still as annoyingly stiff as when i bought it.
No this is not a my KX is better than your CR.

The 100/80-19 rear tyre would be the standard KXF 250 rear tyre.

Interesting read for sure, thanks hoofarted.

Ya I know that. If I'm dropping 11k on a bike it better have my tires of choice and two spare sets mounted on new rims. I don't ask for much do I.

YA say you don't ask for much, do you think they are asking for much with that price tag.
