FUN BIKES: 2023 Kawasaki KX450X
WORDS: Kris Keefer // PHOTOS: SPENCER OWENS
Hybrid moto/off-road machines are more common as the years roll by and sometimes, just sometimes, these hybrid machines are better than the moto machines that the manufacturers are selling. A little softer, more forgiving, and they even come with a kickstand! The 2023 KX450X hasn’t gone under any dramatic changes since its inception, but with the new 2024 version coming out here shortly we thought why not give you an overview of what we thought of Kawasaki’s hybrid moto/cross country model in Fun Bikes, because, well, it’s fun!
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
