massive low-rpm grunt and a lightweight package, the linear power will be crisp, sound glorious and the new KX327 will be fast … And yes, Kawi’ s 2027 lineup has been announced. The KX450 now has an‘ F’ moniker, due to the launch of the very cool KX327 twostroke( as does the KX450 FX cross country steed) and the big kid of the clan gets revised exhaust as well as intake, giving a slightly more aggressive feel when getting on the gas at low revs and improving mid and high-end power delivery and feel. Also onboard is a tweaked chassis and an updated swingarm, all adding to a sharper feeling from the‘ bars. The 250 also gets a boost to its power and sharper throttle response as well as a refined clutch and new suspension settings. The full suite of smaller capacity models are also included in the new lineup but Maaaate, that new Kawasaki KX327 … Take a bow, Team Green!
