Off-roader of the year

Short list: Honda CRF450R. Kawasaki KX250F. Yamaha YZ450. KTM 450EXC

Winner: Kawasaki KX250F

KAWASAKI’S KX250F is what the MCN Awards are all about – using innovation and creativity to produce a new machine. The KX250F won because, according to MCN Editor-in-Chief and huge off-road fan Adam Duckworth: ” Kawasaki has cleverly pooled its resources with another manufacturer (Suzuki) and has developed a radical ‘semi-dry’ sump to reduce weight. ”
