For this First Ride test we take a look at the 2020 Kawasaki KX450. Although this bike returns to the 2020 model year with only minor changes, it was all new from the ground up in 2019. In 2019 the bike received a hydraulic clutch, new rear rotor, new engine, new frame, electric start, new air box and more. The Kawasaki placed 4th in our 450 Shoot Out last year. With some of the bikes making changes can the Kawasaki slide further up into the ranks for the 2020 model season? Only time will tell and there is plenty more testing to be had before we get to the point. Stay tuned to motocrossactionmag.com for all the updates as the 2020 model year of testing continues.
