With a revolutionary twin-muffler exhaust system that centralizes mass and improves handling in the whoops and rhythm sections, the new CRF250R screams into 2006 with the ultimate, 125-class-conquering combination of huge horsepower (thanks to the twin-pipe and an all-new 40mm carb) and sharper-than-ever track-carving capability. Look for it on podiums all across the country.

Two-stroke fun returns for another year

The 2007 Kawasaki KX™250 answers the call for those who love the smell of premix and the sound of a two-stroke’s wail. Featuring a powerful 249cc, liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine wrapped in a lightweight perimeter style frame, the KX250 offers explosive acceleration and maximum agility.

The KX250’s chassis includes a strong, lightweight Renthal aluminum handlebar, aluminum subframe and the rear shock features dual compression adjustability so riders have maximum tuning options for both low- and high-speed compression damping. Up front, the Kayaba AOS fork has a one-piece sleeve for plush suspension action at full compression.

The KX250 has excellent stopping power, thanks to its petal-style disc brakes. Not only are they lighter than a traditional disc, their shape also helps to clean the brake pads for more efficient braking performance when conditions get nasty.

Kawasaki offers optional parts for the KX250, including carburetor tuning parts, ignition rotors, a larger countershaft sprocket, aluminum and steel rear sprockets, solid brake discs for wet racing conditions and a 20-inch front wheel.

Those who race their KX250 at designated events are eligible to receive support from Team Green™, Kawasaki’s amateur racing support program. Each year, Team Green provides regional support vehicles and highly trained technicians at more than 100 events, offering technical information and assistance to those who race Kawasaki products. Kawasaki also offers a comprehensive contingency program for amateur and professional riders who place well at designated events.

IMS Products has created a new category of expanded capacity fuel tanks – the GP-Style Fuel Tank. With a low, streamlined design, the new tank offers the same "look and feel" of a stock tank but will give the rider additional range. The new tank is a hybrid between a desert tank and a stock tank, holding between 2.8 and 3.2 gallons, depending on model. It is currently only available for the 450 models of Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha. Additional units will become available soon. The GP-Style tanks are already in stock at the dealer level and have a suggested retail price of $225.
