    The ergonomics on my Kawasaki KX 500 could've been better and more like the Honda CR500's. Not much of a motor cross bike but anything else off road it's hard to beat especially wide open ground or on hills where power is needed the most. I hill climb competitively and all the 500's are very powerfu ...

    Ive rode with guys with KTM 520 and KTM 495's and CRF 450's and WRF 450's. Nothing, and I mean nothing has been able to stay with the Big Bore KX. I've had or rode everything from the 1978 RM 400 to a 2006 KTM 525 and the KX 500 has it all. The best power, great handling and good suspension. If you ...

    This Kawasaki KX 500 bike is a real joy to ride or race. I never hesitate to race this awesome piece of motocross history and will carry on doing so until my body says no more. Perfect power, great handling, reliable and a joy to go pass them 4 strokes

    I am a woods/hare scramble rider and have never ridden a bike with this much pure speed. My Kawasaki KX 500 has a Steahly flywheel weight (A must for riding in the woods). It is a great bike and is easily the best dollar-per-hp deal you can get. You can make those guys on expensive 4 stroke 450s ...

    There are a lot of half hearted, hip shooting comments about the Kawasaki KX 500 500. Ignorance is defined as lack of knowledge. The comments about the kx being the fastest. Maybe these guys haven't checked horse power ratings. Or shoot out reviews. Because if they did they would know that KX is de ...

    My Kawasaki KX 500 is freakishly powerful. The poor handling is made up for in the power department. Awesome. The guy that thinks these aren't great bikes probably just has a duff one. I love mine

    The Kawasaki KX 500 pulls wheels in every gear. It must be one of the fastest two strokes ever made I've got a Yamaha 450 quad 2005 and it leaves that in the distance. It's a very good bike at the end of the day.

    For what the Kawasaki KX 500 was made for there is nothing else like it. Desert and trails if you have never ridden one you will never know. To anyone who has all I have to say is 3rd gear from nothing to eye watering,helmet wind buffeting power. When I ride my sons 250 afterward it feels like a 125

    These bikes are the fastest two strokes made to date with more power than the typical rider knows how to handle, Very reliable. Thats why they were so successful in desert racing where other brand two strokes couldn't hold up. I ride mine every day without problems and I mean any day. I guess some p ...
