2005 Kawasaki KX125
The 2005 Kawasaki's have just been revealed, and so far, the changes are modest. We say so far because we have yet to receive information on the 250cc-class machines. We're expecting some big changes from Kawasaki on the 2005 KX250, and the much-anticipated KX450F thumper.
Kawasaki's KX250F (RM-Z250) received the most upgrades aimed at improving its performance for advanced riders. Kawasaki remains competitive with a full line of minis sporting new graphics for '05.
