Hope it has a kick start backup, because, knee breaking nostalgia kicking a 500.
Should be a ripper. Hope the other brands follow suit, the KX was always a great bike. RM was badass. CR was king though.
I can break a leg on either

Electric start, EFI 2 Stroke. Put a Rekluse in it and I'll be in heaven on the mountain.
**** no. I still have the dents in my shin from the 560.

my 500 was one of the easiest bikes to start that I've ever had.
Hell Destry himself will tell you the only reason it was dominant in the desert was because it started faster than anything else and could win bomb starts, then check out with the raw power.
If you broke a knee on a kx500, you were doing it wrong

Some of the articles are saying it is counterbalanced.
Definitely a nice looking bike. I wonder if they will roll out a 250/125 also. I hope Yamaha takes note and updates the YZ.

It's beautiful!
Also, screw Rekluse clutches. My dad has it on his 300 and it's terrible if you're trying to hold position on a hill with the bike off

No kickstart. Bump starting is always an option unless you install a Rekluse. (I personally hate the Rekluse after learning how to use and abuse the clutch).
Efi, electric power valve, map switch (with phone app for changes over Bluetooth), counter-balanced, hydraulic clutch. Hit all the big features to make a modern 2t.
Will likely put a big dent in the KTM sales.
Assuming like most Japanese bikes it'll need some love in the form of a steel clutch basket and plates that will last. Some armor and they should be good bikes.

I am absolutely, without a doubt, buying this bike in the offroad 327X flavor. I've been team green for my entire life. KX80, then KX125, then I bought my '99 KX250 brand new in high school with bussing tables money and it still rips hard to this day. I can't wait to ride this new one.

if you need a rekluse, just go get a bike that is CVT, or an electric scooter

I’d even consider jumping off God’s gift to motorcycling, my KDX200 for this if it had lights and road legality.

you can get yourself a automatic clutch for those to, dont worry
Seeing as it's got the magic button and a lithium battery, the charging system will probably handle some LED lights. Won't be the first bike I've put lights on.

Did they tell you any kind of delivery date? Curious if we're gonna see it this summer at all.

these types of threads are hilarious to me. "im more manliest of men cuz i can run a clutch" dolts. get back in your caves and beat your women with your sticks.
Ah yes, the guy who thinks the pinnacle of dirt biking is Honda XRs is going to wax to us about how we need to go back to caveman times for not liking crutch parts that have more disadvantages than advantages.
Fitting.
