2026 KAWASAKI KX450 TEST VIDEO

The Kawasaki KX450 returns and is unchanged for the coming year, but it’s still one of our very favorite motorcycles. Managing Editor Mark Tilley has won a number of NGPC championships on the KX and knows the bike inside out. The Kawasaki has never been the most powerful bike in the class, but that’s part of the appeal. It’s easy to ride, stable and handles in a very predictable manner. Join Mark at Glen Helen as he spends a day with the brand-new KX and works out the new-bike kinks.
