Nobody really picked it up and Kawasaki suddenly delivers and maybe even revolutionizes the two-stroke segment? And not just once, but twice. The KX 327 is now at the start for the crosser squad and the KX 327X for the enduro specialists.
Almost a year and a half ago, someone – whoever consciously or unconsciously – spread the rumor on the World Wide Web that the Greens want to revive their two-stroke. Almost the entire off-road community was positively impressed by it, but only a few actually believed in it. Now, with this release, all doubters have been punished and the two-stroke market, which has been declared dead again and again, is getting double growth, which will definitely increase the variety and excitement on the market.
Old iron or state-of-the-art green poison? The details from the press release definitely speak of the latter:

Further data are not yet known and will be submitted as soon as possible. But the raw data should already point to a real opponent for the Beta RX 350 2T.
With this, Kawasaki will certainly regain momentum in the hearts of off-road fans and definitely make those of two-stroke enthusiasts beat faster.
