Kawasaki KX450 Overview

The Kawasaki KX450 is a specialist, single-seat bike for riders prioritising rough-surface riding over everyday transport. Its 21-inch front and 19-inch rear spoke wheels, 340mm ground clearance and adjustable suspension point to that focus, while its 110kg kerb weight is low compared with the listed rivals. Disc brakes are fitted at both ends, but ABS is not listed. There is no headlight, tail-light, turn signal, instrument display or pillion seat, limiting road-going practicality and passenger use.

Against the Kawasaki KLX450R, the KX450 is 16kg lighter but has a smaller 6.2-litre tank and a taller 955mm seat; it is priced above the KLX450R. The KTM 450 SX-F is 3kg lighter, while the KX450 is priced below it. No mileage figure is supplied, so fuel economy cannot be compared. Its high seat and sparse equipment make it a committed choice rather than an all-rounder.

  • Adjustable fork damping and rear compression settings let riders tailor suspension response.
  • The 340mm ground clearance supports its rough-surface-focused setup.
  • At 110kg, it weighs 16kg less than the Kawasaki KLX450R.
  • Disc brakes at both ends provide braking at both wheels; ABS is not listed.
  • Launch control is available to help manage starts.

What we like

  • Low kerb weight compared with the Kawasaki KLX450R.
  • Adjustable front and rear suspension settings.
  • Disc brakes at both ends.
  • Launch control is available.

What could be better

  • The 955mm seat height may challenge shorter riders.
  • Its 6.2-litre tank is smaller than the listed rivals' tanks.
  • No pillion seat, lights, turn signals or instrument display.
  • ABS is not listed.

Best for: The KX450 suits riders seeking a light, adjustable, single-seat machine for rough-surface use who do not need commuter equipment or passenger space.
