Brazil! KX250 is the new branding model title from Kawasaki; it's still their premium four stroke MXer. Just replaces the KX250F name of old. Since they do not manufacturer two strokes anymore, it kinda' fits...Cheers
Man, that's a tough one...If you rode the wheels off 125 two strokes with all rev, then maybe! But for the average rider there are easier 250F's to ride smoothly and re-learn the basics: Rm-Z250's a good choice for the price and YZ250F's have been hard to beat for a few years. Cheers
@@AOL0321 Go with the green one! Haha I'd recommend +1 on the rear sprocket and lighter spring rates if you're under 180lbs and just getting back; they're great bikes, especially with a deal like that. Can never go wrong with a new ride
Cockpit on the RM-Z250 is better for shorter riders, but the Kawi has very adjustable ergos as well...All comes down to two things: Do you like to rev or short-shift? And is kick starting a big deal to you. That's it! The KX250 revs much higher and is great for intermediate and up riders, where the RM-Z is good for beginners and those okay with staying lower in the revs. Each has suspension tailored to heavier riders (180lbs.+), so factor in springs if you're on the lighter/smaller side. Both fun bikes, can't go wrong either way. Good luck deciding and enjoy whichever you choose👍
Not so much with the green coupler, but a little with the white coupler. More rider error than anything, as I was downshifting and using lower gears to make best use of the Kawi revs.
@@ryangalbraith7080 Green (stock) was best for me. White (lean) is peppy and aggressive, but has additional engine braking and almost a lean spot. Black (rich) was too mellow for my size. Cheers
Hi man . This bike was tuned?? It revs so quckly 😎
All stock! Good ear, by the way: One of the best attributes of the 23/24' KX250's was their free-revving, fun, and high-rev nature...
What changes from KX to KXF? A hug from Brazil.

@@CasMoto Now I understand, thank you very much friend, great week for you.
Is this KX a good bike for a beginning/returning rider who has not ridden a motocross bike in 40 years? :)

@@CasMoto There is a $1K rebate now on KX's though!

this vs your 250r video, looks like cornering the honda is easier for you than the kx. But the kawi looks alot more fun to ride imo
Which do you like better, the RMZ-250 or the KX-250? I’m a shorter rider just getting back into riding again.

What gear were you hitting most of the jumps in?
Perris MX is a slower/tighter/technical layout, so 2nd and 3rd gear for most jumps is common👍
@@CasMoto and the great jump ? it is maybe 32 yards
@@dersoloist6591 Close, but probably shorter, around 75-85' (25ish meters)
Did you notice any slight popping/backfire on deceleration?
Not so much with the green coupler, but a little with the white coupler. More rider error than anything, as I was downshifting and using lower gears to make best use of the Kawi revs.
Is this the fastest 250 you’ve ridden out of the 23s ? You feel
KX250 and 250SXF are the fastest I've ridden to date! Maybe a little less off the bottom than others, but fun for more advanced riders. Cheers
@@CasMoto what coupler did you prefer? White ,green or black?

Faster then the Yamaha?
In the top-end and over-rev, yes, it's faster than the YZ250F. Faster and usable are two different sensations though! Cheers
Looks different to mx bikes 😂
yeah thats why im here lol
