HISTORY

1975 Kawasaki KX400

known for its powerful engine but often considered a step behind the best in its class. The bike featured a 398cc two-stroke engine, five-speed transmission, and a steel frame, though it had limited rear suspension travel in stock form, which was often upgraded by owners.

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 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 grew up racing and traveling to tracks around the United States. I later honed my craft working 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.
