HISTORY

The KX250 had genuinely usable power delivery.

Bottom end and mid-range are similiar to a CZ or Husky - except without the punch on top.

The engine put out a claimed 34hp at 8000 rpm in a bike that only weighs 219 pounds.

The piston port 249cc air cooled engine has a large power band with smooth, tractor-like power. The same KX250 was produced from 1974 to 1976 with little change other than color and graphics. With such little change the bike had worn out it's welcome with the motocross crowd 

The KX is by no means a slow motorcycle. With good traction, it'll stay side by side with an RM, however put it on the track with bumps, holes and jumps, and its another story. The suspension was not exactly plush compared to the competition at the time. Although it may not have been the best handling bike for ‘76 you cannot deny the power of the KX.

JTR

We ride, race, and restore vintage motocross bikes from the 1970s through the early 2000s. Every motorcycle we buy and sell is personally inspected, serviced, and vetted by us before it changes hands. My father, Chris Reed, has been racing and repairing these machines since they were new. He put me on a JR50 at four years old, and I've never stopped riding or racing. I later worked under Peter Boggia at Moto Borgotaro, helping service and restore some of the rarest motorcycles in the world.

When you purchase a motorcycle from JTR Moto, you’re not simply buying a bike. You’re investing in a passion shaped by three generations of racers with a dedication to preserving these incredible machines and the culture that made them special.
