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.

We ride, race and restore vintage motorcycles. Every single bike we buy and sell, we personally go through. My father Chris Reed, born in ‘59 has been racing and repairing these bikes since they were new. He had me on a JR50 at 4 years old and I cut my teeth on race tracks around the United States. I eventually sharpened my craft working under the wing of Peter Boggia (Moto Borgotaro) where I serviced and restored some of the rarest motorcycles on the planet.

I believe these bikes should go to people who will love, and appreciate them. You’re not just buying a bike from us, you’re supporting a brand that is deeply committed to celebrating these badass machines and preserving the vintage racing community.
