2008 Kawasaki KLX 450R, NEW 2008 KAWASAKI KLX 450R MODERN OFF-ROAD DESIGN MEETS WORLD CHAMPION MOTOCROSSER. Off-road toughness, electric-start convenience, motocross performance. Kawasaki s 2008 KLX 450R will soon be making a name for itself amongst the growing legion of off-road racing fans. This purpose-built version of the brand s World Supercross Championship winning four-stroke KX 450F motocrosser delivers the same high performance features as the KX model, yet modifies it for the improved durability, comfort, and range needed by off-road racers. Adapted to the rigors of grueling courses, this model s lightweight engine has been tweaked for more low and mid-range performance delivering a wide spread of responsive, high-traction torque and superior throttle control for low-speed maneuvering. The KLX450R s gutsy response to hill climbing, mud holes, or other poor-traction, low-speed conditions will put it at the top of every racer s "want" list. Kawasaki engineers have combined revisions in cam lift and timing in order to boost low and mid-range torque. Adding to the special characteristics of this engine are a heavier flywheel with double the mass of the KX450F s unit and a wide-ratio five-speed transmission with gears that have been specifically selected for off-road competition.Thank you for shopping with Surdyke Yamaha.
