Kawasaki unveiled its all-new KX327X two-stroke model at the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. Team Green riders and ambassadors like Ryan Villopoto, Stew Baylor, and Axell Hodges were on hand for the reveal as well as the first start of the highly anticipated off-road machine. The event continued through the week with daily engine start-up demos everyday at 3:27pm.
“Everybody was stoked on it,” Villopoto said. “We started it up, it sounds awesome. I was lucky enough, three or four days ago, to do a bunch of media shooting with it so I’ve got some time on it. I didn’t know what to expect, Kawasaki hasn’t had a real new two-stroke, a modern day two-stroke in the bigger bore classes in many many years. It’s been a long time, all of us waiting to see what it’s like but it blew me away when I got to ride it.”
Both the KX327 motocrosser and KX327X off-road versions are set to arrive in late 2026.
