Before we knew Kawasaki was coming out with a “Special Racer” KX450 for 2025 we wanted to build an SR that was faster, yet more balanced, than the stock KX450. I enlisted former professional SX/MX race mechanic Eddie Laret to take our 2025 KX450 test bike and make it into a vet rider’s dream. We understand that the average vet guy likes a little bling to their builds, but also have comfort and power, so Eddie didn’t spare any expense here.
