ok, at *********.com there is an interview with Mike Penland in which he is asked about this year's Baja. He tells them he is riding the new Kawasaki 400. He finishes the question by saying "It's like the 400ex" No hoopla, No hysteria, the cat's out of the bag. Now, we know that Kawasaki's 4-stroke is based on the klx/mojave family of engines. I have ridden an IMS XR440 and a Stroker KLX 365 and I'll take the 365 anyday. What scares me is I'm the proud owner of a $13,000 CT440 which by this fall could be less a bike than the Kawasaki, GasGas or the Cannondale. The DS 650 and the new Yamaha 660 (Apache) were not forgotten just ommited. They are fat, bloated dune cruisers for beer-bellied non-riders. Times, they be a changin' and finally for the better.

yes, i just wondering if that v-8 was going to bea
5.3 or 6.0 liter,2 reverse gears sounds odd?I think it will do over 200 mph no problem! As long as they have a 3:23 rearend!!I heard that it has to be ran pure octane,and that kawasaki had problems keeping the pipe from shooting 30 foot flames out,so it comes with a spark arrestor!It also comes stanard!! with carbon fiber muffler bearing,sounds like a drag car,at only 13,500 each you can't not buy one!sorry no air bags,a/c is optional.
