2000 Kawasaki KX250 

People have always said how Kawasaki 2 strokes sound like chainsaws.....I don’t know what chainsaws those people are using but they must be some pretty bitchin’ sounding chainsaws.

For a 20 year old KX250 this model can indeed win a lot of championships. I saw John Dowd in 2000 competing against the 450 class in the Monster Energy Supercross Series in NJ. He totally smoked em by a mere 35 seconds. It's a great piece of history.

Wolverine retired and became a motorcycle enthusiast.

I have my 2000 KX250 in my living room. Never thought I would see 👀another one as good as mine! 🏍🍀

When this style 1st came out in 99, they were the 1st of what I believe to be the start of the extremely flat seating position type of MX bikes. I love these models !!!

I fell in love with motorcyles when my buddy kickstarted his 73 Sportster back in highschool '09. His generation gets it. I would be doing the same thing 👍

Just pulled mine out last week after 8 years resting. Cleaned and drained the fuel tank, cleaned the carby and then wrecked the grass on my acreage. 😵‍💫 Great bikes!

I love this video! You gave me a lot of info and confidence that I made a good buy today. A little over a month ago, I prayed for God to make it possible for me to get a dirt bike. He made circumstances work out that I got a side job that paid well, and after 35 days of hard work, and much prayer and faith that God would find me the perfect bike, I finally was able to buy a spectacular 2000 KX 250 with only 4 hours on it. BONE STOCK. The stickers kind of flaked off a little with age, but the bike hasn't got a scratch on it. Compression test was great, and it fired up and ran beautiful from cold on the first kick. I am so thankful to God and excited to ride tomorrow!! :) Thumb up, and shared. I always love your content.

They messed up when they stopped making theese

Man this brings back memories i let my 2002 kx go last year and bought a new crf450.it was mint and only had about 35 hrs on it!

i got a mint 2001 ...that 2000 is clean boyyy

I purchased this same bike brand new Back in 2000, I remember how fast it was...it scared me

Yep, i agree with this bike. I bought one brand new when they came out, with a small amount of engine mods the over rev is outstanding it keeps on revving and doesn't fall off the pipe. The stock pipe works awesome and balanced well. I ride a KX250R6F and i wish it had the 2000 engine. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Just fired up my 00 kx250 n went for a rip. Pops wheelies like nothin !! Sickest bike ever i have to say

Torque monsters, always have been. Older KX’s rip on the trails. Beautiful bike.

When I crank up my 03 with the fmf gnarly pipe my neighbors come out and admire it lol

i got the same bike 2000 kx 250 these bikes are a absolute weapon in motocross like you said probably one of the best 2 strokes out there, dont get me wrong im a die hard Honda guy all the way killer video nice to see these old bikes

It was so fast it took his moustache off! Great bikes 🚲

My favorite bike of all time the mighty kx,id put 5grand into my old 03 before id buy a new 4stroke

I raced a 1989 KX250 back when Moses was a kid, thing ran excellent..

Yah, hi, I’m long retired due to injury...But I was part of the New England scene between ‘92 & 2003 when I got hurt really bad...I was a member of the _Pete’s Cycle & Sled_ crew _(so-to-speak)_ but dude, you make it sound like John Dowd pulled a 2000 KX250 outta his shed still in it’s shipping crate & ran it bone ass stock & beat everyone on a stock bike... let us not forget that in 2000, John Dowd was on the Kawasaki Factory race team...that was a Factory Team Race bike...that means shit like a Kawasaki KX65 Flywheel, custom machined titanium gears in the trans, an oversized titanium front sprocket, the rear sprocket probably retrofitted from the same KX65 that the flywheel came from...Pro Circuit Pipe, high compression piston, Boyesen reeds/Rad Valve, Head work, Hinson clutch Basket/pressure plate/inner hub, Barnett plates, pro setup suspension, the bars are custom bent to his specification, and all the other shit I’m not listing....

I recently got my hands on a nice 98 KX250. The bike is a blast! 2-Strokes rule!

This is the only non Yamaha motorcycle i ever owned. LOVED it, but i broke the frame overshooting a 75 foot steel kicker gap. Landed completely flat. Broke the engine mounts too it was rough. Fractured L2, L3 vertebra, cracked jaw from slamming my chin into the clutch perch.

I got a 99 and just as clean.i had a 02 125 a couple years ago.i used to only ride Suzuki but once I rode a kx I never looked back

I had a 94. Modded the suspension and was slick till totalled. I had this 00 with a **not** stock engine meaning built. I rode it for a whole summer before I learned that they came stock with a progressive rate rear spring. Loved it till I rode xrs and thumpers, lost time and let someone else use it. I have the 03 today - it steers like its on rails. I will cry for days if it is ever stolen.

Lol "in a non smoking environment," love it ol 2smoke!

I have a mint 02 KX250. I never want to let it go. Love these bikes.

Had my 02 KX 250 since 2003. Pro Circuit built mine. On my Last set of PC graphics and seat cover from 02.

I'm going to go look at a 2000 KX250 this weekend. It has been parked in a barn since 2005. Can't wait to go look at it!

The 2000 kx250 Was my favorite. Won a lot of money class races

This bike is a beast !!

I got the same bike and dude the things an animal it sounds just as crispy has a full bill’s exhaust

My boys doing there thing they got bikes for days to come. Keep up the dream so proud of u guys came along way. Nice bike by the way. I want that bike

My favorite bike of all time ,kx 250 2000,this look is amasing to me!!

Sweet Kawasaki hard to find them like that anymore.

Oh yeah that was the hay day for two cycles man I love that bike

My 98 kdx220 is in that condition all apart from the decals , I’m in U.K. and my bike it’s mint

I have the same bike . Still have the original plastics on my shop wall use aftermarket parts now so I don't scratch the originals when it's kicking new 450 ass. 55hp demon nothing more terrifying or more fun to ride at the same time. Love it will never sell it.

I have a 2000 ,and its absolutely crazy fast,still has orginal tires on mine as well

Had a 91 loved it

Those generation kxs were gnarly

Very awesome bike I have one just like it is a beast like you say They are one great bike will be looking forward to more of your videos

Sweet bike! I have 2004 kx250 and it's a mean machine.

Beautiful bike on a beautiful floor.

The factory steel bars are a nice touch.

Did wolverine really just pronounce epitome like that?

Wow what a lovely kx

Such a badass kx250!!!!

In the process of restoring my 99 she rips for sure

So damn mad I missed this auction!

Must be awesome working with your kids...

very nice! i own the 2000 kx500...love it.

Beautiful stock bike.

that is one clean bike real sweet

My dream bike 😍

Have the same bike (02) same condition. Never parting ways with it, so powerful

Long live the 2 smokers! Had a 99 kx 80 and 00 kx 125 waaaay back in the day. Would love to own the same year KX 250 like this. All my 250's were YZ and RM. I have an RMX 250 now that I doubt I will ever sell. Used 2 stroke bikes from back in the day are almost impossible to come by where I am. Keep it up Kaplan

Rode my dads 2006 kx250 it nearly ripped my arms off!!!

Had a 91 kx 250 long live 2 strokes 👍

I had one. Great Motor

Very nice bike but the late 90's thru current yz is hands down the best 2 stroke period. Be it a 125 or 250, top notch handling. Broad powerband. Not knocking Kawasaki but the yz's are still flying off the showroom floors for a reason.

0:55 And you didn't go down the stairs because??? Oh NM I see Junior was on the back haha. Yah I'm reaching for the KDX today for sure after watching this. At first glance you really can't tell them apart my '01 looks so similar. PS: Still rather see you wearing a lid Dad :)

I had a 98 kx250 it was a great motor...two years later I bought a cr250r 02 and everything else was better handling suspension brakes but not the motor that 98 kx was a midrange ripper.

Awesome bike

super clean!!!! i have a 03, i hear the kx's around that year the engines are super reliable

Just bought a 98 KX250 great shape 1500 bucks has the old FMF Burly pipe jet kit and a boyesen reed block I forgot how powerful this is LOL what a monster

I had a 1989 CR250 then bought a 1990 KX250 and the KX was much more poweful 👍

My friend had a kx and i had an older 95 cr 250 they were exacting the same in a drag race only.difference is.my.cr wanted to pull the wheel and the kx powerband dident seem like it hit as hard. But the kx wasent faster than my cr 250.they wete basically the same

I started on an old 86 cr125 but became a fan of kx mid 90's up 125 and 250. I see one bike you dont have on here is the 87 cr250, or I haven't came across it. They dont make them like they use too.

That thing is straight from the showroom floor!!! Unbelievable

killer bike!

got a 02 in just as good condition

Best bike ever

Beautiful specimen

How does that bad boy compare with the 1990 YZ250 WR 2 stroke that I use to race in New England with the CCC club??? The YZ was AMAZING!!!

There's one for sale in the UK , my home ! Its 02 tho but its a mint bike an I'm 2 stroke through & through

How much are 2003 kx250 going for? Pretty much completely stock still has the warning back fender sticker

Beautiful Machine!! TwoStroke going to make a comeback??

Dream bike

I bought a brand new Kawasaki 2000 KX250 when they first came out I blew the crank bearing after about 25 hours of riding

Is the museum open for publik ? After corona i tand next plane from sweden

Strepitosa c'è no una uguale. Uno spettacolo . Kawasaki per tutta la vita.

I have a 1998 kx250 I’m restoring fully right now at our shop. Literally everything is stripped and being touched

Whats the jetting on it Kaplan?

I had the same bike won some plaques with loved it

Gorgeous bike. Trying to grab a cr or kx from circa that era... Always hunting for a Gem barn find..... Praying you find someone that out about ten hours in it, wrecked and parked it lol. Ken, please throw a helmet on for flybys..... We've all done a lot of riding, and know that shit can go bad in an instant for almost no reason..... Just wanted to put it out there cause you're a boss, but tragedy can come an instant. Cheers.

I had one and did'nt think it was all that. It road good but i did'nt think it pull that strong. My cousin had a 93' i think and to me it felt like it had more juice to me especially down low. It may have been the gear ratio (don't know if it's the same 93'-00')or sprocket choice he had not sure if he had stock sprockets or not.

I miss mine

What is better, 2000 YZ250 or 2000 KX250? Which one would you prefer and why?

Did they run the same graphics in 2000 and 2001? Mine is 2001 and is exactly the same.

I want this

Are these bikes still competitive for a novice rider?

Thats sweet

Dude firstly where is your dealership? Secondly do you ship to the UK?

Are u selling your muses stock or something?

How much did the bike go for at auction?

Beautiful bike, I had an 01 kx250 that I regret selling to this day

Wow awesome bike I had one in the day brought brand new in the day absolutely awesome bike an they eat cr 250 s

But does it have the original gas too? Haha

What does the bid start at probably by time someone buys it $wise could get this yr model for bike that's 20 yrs old
