The 2009 Kawasaki KX250F is a motocross motorcycle powered by a 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. Thanks to its lightweight construction, this bike can also be used on other types of dirt tracks and even trails in the wilderness. Be advised that it is not street-legal.
The new year model comes with a higher-grade radiator, less prone to mud build-up, with a thicker profile which makes reinforcement brackets unnecessary, thus shaving off some weight. The titanium-coated Showa dual-chamber forks and revised rear suspension now offer even better shock damping and eliminate the “kicking” effect.
The synthetic skidplate offers the same sturdiness of the old aluminium one but with less mass. The 2009 KX250F sports the 2008 wide, serrated footpegs, factory-style Renthal handlebar and racing-specced petal rotors. The slim shrouds offer enhanced riding ergonomics.
