The Kawasaki KX 450F is a liquid-cooled DOHC 449 cc (27.4 cu in) four-valve four-stroke single motocross motorcycle made by Kawasaki.
Since 2007, it has also come in the KLX450R versions, which has added conveniences that make it more suitable for trail riding, green laning, enduro events, and lower speed riding in general. This is due to the larger gas tank, 18 inch rear wheel, headlamp, and electric start, and a retuned engine that has less peak horsepower in favor of easier handling from more lower end torque delivered more smoothly.[1][2]
