    I'm surprised he uses the air forks. On the honda he swapped them for an older set of forks

    The black frame does look much better than the shiny ones that stick out so badly ..

    I was surprised also after all the bad news on them last yr in SX from so many different riders ... Someone will get them right, some yr and that wrong-spring issue will be eliminated ... Of course, we'll probably trade that fix for some other ill side-effect. And the beat goes on ...

    Out of all the Japanese offerings, the Kawi sure does look the best. I know this ones all bling, but dang black and green look good!

    With the success the 250 and 450 Kawis' have, looks like any young racer would have to consider a green bike first ..

    --
    At the 2:23 mark, this guy says they are leasing the factory hubs from Kawi ... These business deals might be a little more complex than we are aware of ..

    They are playing white into the bike (seat, radiator hoses) also and dropping the green color a little as compared to the past bikes ...

    That is weird that they lease the hubs from Kawasaki.
