		I bought my 2008 kawasaki kfx450r about 4 months ago and have had nothing but fun fun fun with it. I luv goin places to ride and unloadn and as soon as I start it up and people hear the two brothers pipe put out that sound that says-yeah it's a kaw 450r and u bet ??? It's fast. All eyes on me. With <span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">the power and performance of the kaw 450r it will make any rider look good but also not recaminded for an inexpearanced rider. Only regret I have after gettn mine is that I didn't get it sooner. So if u want pure powr performance and style I suggest the KAWASAKI KFX 450R!!!!!</span>

Can't Complain

By Shawn(Owner), Jan. 7, 2009

After owning a yfz 450 with all the goodies on it, and then having it blow up on me, I decided to get a kfx 450. Instantly I was hooked.
