2012 KAWASAKI KX 450F

2012 Kawasaki KX 450F

2012 KX ™ 450F highlights begin with the DNA Supercross winner of the bike last year. The advanced design of the aluminum perimeter frame and dominate the engine has received numerous improvements to help create a more compact chassis and powered by centralized mass usable energy, more than ever before. Measuring the charge technology, the KX450F is a new Launch Control mode, which is tuned for maximum traction off the starting grid. This is achieved without sacrificing any of the growling mid-range or speed in a straight line that made the KX450F famous.
