2012 Kawasaki KXF 450 Bike Test by Rick Johnson

Ryan Villopoto is the 2011 AMA Supercross Series Champion, and the 2011 AMA Motocross National Champion, racing a Kawasaki KXF 450. In mid season during the outdoor MX series, Ryan switched to the 2012 edition of the Kawasaki KXF 450. Some thought it might be a strange move changing model years in the middle of a season. I can see why they did it ... this bike is incredible.

Ryan went on to clinch the AMA National Motocross Championship in the MX (450) class in convincing style. And then, on basically the same machine, helped Team USA win the Motocross of Nations in France. He then won 1 million dollars in sweeping all three races of the Monster Energy Cup in Las Vegas.

This bike certainly has the latest in technology, looks, performance, and more. What I like most, and I hope comes across in the video, is the adustability, and comfort level of the bike. Adjustability makes the bike have a comfort level beyond anything I've ever ridden before. In fact, this is the most modern, technologically advanced motocross bike I have ever ridden.

Thanks again to everyone at Kawasaki for making this happen. I had a blast.
