  • Racer X Films: 2018 Kawasaki KX450F Build

There are always a few comments on our Garage Build projects about how our bikes are overdone and too expensive for any mortal man to afford. Well, you’re going to love this. We focused on making a down-and-dirty race machine with our 2018 Kawasaki KX450F by cutting out the unnecessary frills and sticking to the parts that really make a difference. As you can see, our green machine is still plenty nasty even with many of the OEM parts in place. This bike is affordable and absolutely capable.
