07 Kawasaki Dirt Bikes ReviewedThe big boy of the 07 Kawasaki dirt bikes, the KX450F has been released with a new 5 speed transmission this year. The bike also has some revised engine specs aimed at improving bottom end and mid range power delivery. There's been some changes made to the chassis frame spars and also up front there are new fork internals and what Kawasaki is calling DLC 'diamond like carbon' coated fork tubes.
KX250 The KX250 is largely unchanged for '07. In the suspension department there's a dual compression adjustable rear shock and Kayaba USD forks up front. The 250 two stroke has Renthal handlebars standard and an options package that includes solid brake rotors for wet conditions and an optional 20 inch front wheel.
KX85 There aren't a whole lot of updates for the '07 KX85, the baby KX's have a high tensile steel perimeter frame and 36mm USD forks. The 84cc engine has an Electrofusion coated cylinder and a large volume combustion chamber for more top end power. The KX85 has dominated the junior motocross scene for years now and has had its competitors playing catch up in the 85cc and 65cc classes.
