No. Absolutely none. If you think thats something look at your dads KDX200, it hasn't been changed since 1995. Thats 9 years. The KDX220 hasn't been changed since it was introduced in 1997. Look at their new KFX400 4 wheeler, it's a Suzuki. Look at their new KLX400 bike it's also a Suzuki. They are spreadding rumors of a KLX250 four stroke I bet it is a Suzuki too.I dont think they have changed the 100 since 97 and that was front shocks.I think Kawasaki has let their R&D people go. It must have something to do with Suzuki buying 51% of Kawasaki, Dont you think. Let the good times roll.
