**Anaheim, CA** – In a surprise announcement made at the Anaheim 2 Supercross press day, Kawasaki has confirmed the return of its iconic KX two-stroke motocross bike. The news, revealed with a short video featuring the unmistakable sound of a two-stroke engine, followed numerous fan requests for a resurgence of the beloved model.

Kawasaki last produced a KX two-stroke in 2007 (KX250) and 2006 (KX125). This marks a significant comeback for the brand, bucking the industry trend towards electric or four-stroke machines. Industry analysts speculate the decision is driven by the enduring popularity of two-strokes among riders seeking a more affordable and enjoyable riding experience, particularly in the current climate of rising costs.

While details remain scarce, Motocross Action Magazine speculates that Kawasaki may adapt existing KX250/450 chassis to accommodate the new two-stroke engine. The displacement of the new model remains unconfirmed, with possibilities including a KX125, KX250, KX300, or even a KX500. The magazine suggests the return of the two-stroke could also lead to a renaming of the four-stroke models back to the classic KX250F and KX450F designations.

The announcement has generated significant excitement within the motocross community. The return of the KX two-stroke is seen as a shrewd move by Kawasaki, tapping into the enduring appeal of a simpler, more accessible, and arguably more fun riding experience.
