2 STROKE CLASSICS; 1996 Kawasaki KX250 

I'd take that kx over any gasgas bike!

Oh wow 😍 96 kx250 purple 💜 💚

That bike is so beautiful !!!

Sick bike! I love 90s style so so much. Thank you guys for uploading these kickass vids!

Sounds so crisp 👌🏻

Dam I love those 96 graphics!!

Nice bike

The best KX 2 smoker ever made. I have a friend I used to race with in the AMP/GFI circuit through the 90's and early 2000's . As the rest of us bought bikes every other year . He refused and just kept rebuilding his and kept up with all of us. Great video Kap lots of memories. Keep em comin brother.

Love the purple kwakas back in the day beutifull

Those graphics are sick

sounds savage.

Christie's gfx definitely look premium.

Late 90s KXs were savage…

Green and purple KX's are just something else 🤩 just needs some retro purple Renthal bars on there.

Very nice I have an all original 96 kx80 best year for the kx colours 😀

Sweet vintage color scheme

That thing is beautiful!

green / purple looks nice ✅🟣✅

Christie’s Graphics are Awesome very talented second to none!!🤙🏻

Absolutely beautiful awesome machine....wow

I always liked those thing's. Solid bike & still relevant.

That thing is DYNAMITE. Sounds SO CLEAN. Got my first bike in 96’. GREAT year! Great Vid Fellas🔥🔥💯🍻

Rippin the house off the foundation 🔥🏁🤙

Ah green and purple power!!

This bike will always have a special place in my heart. From Jeff Emig winning the championship in 97 to all the desert races Ty Davis won on it was truly a very versatile bike even in the tight woods of the south east it grabbed several championships in harescrambles and GNCC. And let's not forget what Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart were able to do on it as well. A legendary machine... worthy of its place in motocross history.

Back in the 90s when I had my 1985 CR125 there was a guy that would always pass me on one wheel with a bike like this.

Bad ass MaN’ no way could I have let that leave my hands… love the stinger on the silencer!! Get the neighbors first!!!🇺🇸💪🏼🦅

Rebuilt mine in 2000, powder coated frame black, trashed the purple Barney shit, how I regret that mistake, because now I love it. Been parked since 03. Tinkering around with it, one direction then another. Spare sss front may go on it, and old kx front may end up on iron head somehow if I ever get time. I can't get as good as I was on my 96 kx on my slightly more modern yz250. The bike just felt right, got out the gate in front of that damned 400, jumped like a bmx. You will shift, hydraulic clutch might keep your arm from going numb.

Man this and the xr 650r are so bad ass and takes me back

Sounds and looks tight and right!

That is one gorgeous bike! Christie, the Graphics Goddess, did an amazing job! I've known a few people that did graphics, and some were talented, but not even close to being on the level of talent, as Christie.

Holy crap another rippa😊 wish you guys were in New Jersey. I'd be there all the time.

Bought a 96 new, raced hare scrambles mostly. Super powerful motor, torquey power too. Stable handling, good suspension, and sweet 90s purple. Reliable bike as well

A lot of these bikes got looped out so to have original silencer and fear fender is a little rare!

Gorgeous Kawi 250 old school👍💪🤩 I ABSOLUTELY 💖 the graphics Christie!! 👍💜👍 You are VERY talented.

I had a 1997 KX250. I liked it a lot for off road. Not as much at the MX track. I ran 1 piston in it that seemed like forever. Never had a problem with it. Great machine.

You made my day 😅

Wow what a nice bike. I'd like to go hill climbing on a 250 like that. Nothing throws a rooster tail better than a 2 stroke.

Stunning looking bike TEAM GREEN 🏁🏁

What a Beautiful Beautiful looking bike....Awesome video once again again, guys..👌👊👊👊

Again absolute pristine piece!

Can’t say I’ve had the chance to ride a kx of these years but my 95 cr absolutely hauled the mail and purple shrouds were the best look of the 90s

Rode one when these were brand new.Instantly felt comfortable on it,even with soft-ish forks. The engine was great,pulling from just above idle. I loved it.

Definitely is badass !! Was my favourite bike back in the day Green Machine!!

I can twll your'e taking it easy. I had a 98. Mine was built but even my buddies stock machine was extremely fast. The meat of the pwerband on the 97 and 98s started at idle. They were the best sounding bikes, great stability for high speed tracks, especially sand. I was a fast intermediate. My 01 CR 250 was slightly faster in a straight line, but not by much and that engine would wear you out. 98 KX 250 was my all time favorite motocross machine.

My bike is a 97 kx250. For a 2 stroke it has so much usable power. Nice holeshots and easy to ride. If you want a vintage mxer' and can ride it right, this bike can put Trophys on your mantle!

That’s beautiful mind,I love the green and purple combo topped off with Kristies graphics 👌🏻 I loved my Kx 250 but constantly snapped the kick start shaft for some reason it had mega compression,it was easier to start my 500

I have the same bike, mine still rips the ground up without even opening up on the throttle but it needs some work and love. I’m no mechanic of any kind but since it’s my first bike ever I’m going to make sure it lives as long as I do

We need a ''Massaged to perfection'' counter. 😅

Hi Ken, how can I order those graphics ? Is there a website? Thanks for the help ! Love the channel.

Love it ❤

Love the stinger

Beautiful Colours

I had a 2001 I'm sure things didn't change much but my bike was a fucking beast!!

Wow!! Super nice! I remember the the purple 96 in 1996!

My old bike looks good Ken! You guys did a nice job on it

Best looking kx250 ever.

Awesome bike!!

I'll take one! Love the 90's style

race you on my 96' YZ 250!!! winner takes bike

The best team green ever . Purple color . Like yamah yellow .

90s bikes are the best steel frames 2 strokes the new bikes seem like you are riding on top of them the old ones feel like they are under and around you

Beautiful! I'm restoring a 97 kx 250 and wondering where i could buy a seat cover like that one?

The 96 Rm, Kx, and Cr's were absolutely stunning...the 96 YZ 250 was the obvious exception. 😂

Cr5 any day, but I still woke some days with either one these or cr2 on my mind. Looks fairly bang on to an original obviously pipe and stickers, otherwise that's super clean

I'm a green kinda guy. 1996 green and purple. Color me pink😊

💎

I raced enduro on one of these and it was awesome only engine that was better was the 1998

Where did you get the seat cover

Where can I get the fork shield decal? I want them for mine.

Sweeeet bike!!

What’s the spec on the carb? My 98 will not even dream about idling that low.

Ken you should rode your cr 500 in eastford ct yesterday 7 half miles of rocks and roots over 60 but i loved my 22 xc 250 ktm mostly ktms netra get there

That's clean. It would be hard to find a nicer one.

Lovely bike I still think a 1998 cr250 are slightly quicker what do you think ken

What's the value of one of those? I have one thats like brand new. A few scuffs on the plastic but less then 20hrs of ride time

How could you trade that in beautiful museum quality

How much

It has betrer Fuel lines them original?

Is this still for sale

🤩

The only bad thing about the 94 to 98 KX 250's is the stock brakes are the worst and it feels a little top heavy compared to some bikes other than that it was a great bike! It didnt really get much better or faster than that ! Yes in 2006 I raced a KX250 and beat a brand new YZ450F to the first turn ! I just absolutely could not brake and turn as good as them the four strokes ....also I only weighed 135 lbs then!!!!!! I was not strong then at all should have been on a 1999 KX125!

15 years ago you practically could not give away 90s bikes.... I remember my father saying the same thing about 60s muscle cars.

Nice kx 250 2 stroke pitty they stoped makeing them ...see my helmet..M2R helmets designed and developed in Australia 🇦🇺 l got it free with my new 2021 KLX450R..cheers from Melbourne Australia..check out hattah desert race Australia very sandy challenging track you got to be fit .if l was younger l would do it ..also check out ...(Made for this :Daniel milner ) a better look at some of the track from the hattah desert race Australia 🇦🇺

I had a brand new 96 500

She looks tighter than a Tiger 🐅

Every time I see mint frame rails I feel guilty for destroying every motocross bike I’ve owned 🤦‍♂️

I’ve got a 99, wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Purple People Pleaser

A proper looking Kawi No shit black rims or frightening green claw marks

2 strokes scream metal militia and 4 strokes scream soy latte

Dude got ripped off he traded that in.

My cousin having kx125 1999, just asked him if he would sell...hes like no way,i wouldnt get 1000eur. He just doesnt know how prices ju ped.

Anyone in ct that has a 96,it was last sold as a 98, it had polished swing arm, fmf gnarly, 2007 front end, I wanna buy my bike back lmao last I saw it was best to shit, had 813 suspension on paperwork

trick

Why would you want a gas gas over that

Yeah I don’t understand trading that in for a Gas Gas or anything ffs

🦾👀

Shit how much. You have 3500 in it and you payed?

Jesus thats a fast 250. Id rather this than a new yz250 smoker
