I saw it today but I'm very happy with my Double X. If the new kawi rides and handles even close to the Double x I will be impressed.

I want one You can change a Double x belt on the trail in 15 minutes, the oil check is a whole different matter, to me it's PITA but it is what it is. The Kawi is limited to only 68 MPH, my Cat cuts back at 80 MPH or so my manuel says. It'll never see that but a big old bear gets after me I believe I can leave him behind real quick.

Was surprised the KRX is limited to 68 mph. The other surprise was 68” width.

Was surprised the KRX is limited to 68 mph. The other surprise was 68” width. Kawasaki has always made good machines through out their entire line, Atv's, motorcycles and SxS but they always leave something out that really should be there. My Connie was a fantastic bike but why it did not and still does not have crusie control is beyond me, the Atv's had plenty of power but rode like a wagon. Every bike I have owned by Kawi had a seat that just really needed throwing away. My Tyrex was a very nice SxS but if you went at any fast pace on the trails it would try to run your spine out the top of your head. I made up my mine that my next ride of any kind anymore suspension was a my number one buying point, looks was next and everything else was just icing. I would have been happy with an 800 cc motor as long at over 20 mph it didn't try to beat my head on the roof. Just one more thing I will add, the throttle by wire is fantastic, most of the bad ride over rough stuff came from throttle pump. Going fast over rough stuff is what makes your suspicion work much better but when your in and out of the gas the entire time it just gets worse.

Yes, Kawasaki makes a reliable machine, I'm glad they decided to bring the KRX to market. Glad to hear your still liking the XX, hope we can catch up soon and ride.
