It was a HARD decision between the '12 KX and any new generation CRF450.

I liked the CRF's weight and size(lightest 450 in class). Chris and Chad both have CRFs in both setups, and I liked them in the way I could live with. But I liked the features of the KX in the motor dept. And adjusting the bars and pegs to fit my height/size usually required aftermarket parts, in this case they come adjustable from the factory.

What really gets me is the simple plug-in-go tuning. 3 OEM couplers come with the bike. A general stock plug, a mild one for slick track conditions, and an aggressive one which I think would work great for supermoto trim. And if I wanted to get really crazy, I can get a USB cable from Kawasaki take the bike to AF1 or any other reputable tuner and get a custom tune on each plug if I so choose.

Now if it could stop raining one weekend, I could go ride it!
