sorry, no specs. the magazine says: "spy photo and these bikes ride around in japan". Funny enough, it also runs an ad from a motocross dealer with the same pic. Guess, we just have to wait and see.
I try to show this weekend several small stroker pics I took at the ISDE in France; if the CD comes in time.

HA! dont hold your breath waiting for a cool bike from kawi!
When people said they wanted a four stroke dirt bike , kawi thought they said they wanted a shore boat squirt bike and started making jet skis!!! :)

Then what sort of hybrid appeared in the Maxima Oils ad in various mags a few months ago?

The bike in the Maxima ads was built by Metaltek(sp?). I believe they do some R&D work for Kawi and it was there own project.

They missed something

.
If you look just below the side number plate, you can see a portion of two stroke exhaust stinger entering the silencer. This portion of pipe is smaller in diameter than the pipe near the kickstarter (four stroke pipe).

Not a great fake, IMVHO.:think

It's a terrorist ATTACK!

It's them **** terrorist's trying to scare us (2-smoke riders) into beliving that 2-strokes are dying!!

Sorry, but, us evil 2-stroke riders must stand firm.

Uh, nevermind.

Holeshot, you are correct. Do you think they just threw on a graphics kit and a motor from something?

And what a about the diagonal subframe downbrace just above the rear brake master cylinder. It has a kink in it that only the nuttiest fabricator
would make. Looks like someone pixelated it together.

I dunno. To me it looks like the subframe piece gets wider there, and you're only seeing the part that isn't covered by the frame guard.

(for every swing you take, I swing back! ;) )

With the small diameter head pipe I'm betting it's a shop bike hybrid. Part KX125 and part KLX. Kawie is probably a year or two off a reliable proto and Suzuki is trying to figure out how to dump it's left over two strokes. There is a reason kleenex is yellow.:p

look closely where the pipe would normally stick out where is comes out of the cylinder. looks to me like someone "smeared in" similar colors over the outline of the pipe. very easy in power point. also pull back from the monitor.... it may be easier to see the smear. definitely fake in my opinion.

It looks like my bike, klx 250, stoked and bored to 340, ext. swingarm, Stroker susp. carb, ceramic pipe, MX pastics, + lots of other goodies. Simply put KX stickers on my bike and there you have it. 42hp, 239lbs. four stroke fun by Stroker

first of all, I wish America and the world wisdom and strength in these days.
About the 'artist' and his kxf pic: if it is fake, he sure had an eye for detail, like the long kickstarter; can't imagine the 2-stroke has this size.
