2008 Kawasaki reviews

This is my first bike and I absolutely love it. It handles great and has a great look. It has good power, but obviously not as much as the 500 or 650. The 250 is way more comfortable than the 650 over longer periods of time. I would definitely suggest owning this bike due to its gas mileage, looks and ride. I will probably add a 650 to my collection someday, but I won't be getting rid of my 250... ever. Show less

I just started riding bikes again. I looked for a beginner's lightweight option and came across a 2008 KX 100. It is very forgiving when in the woods. When in doubt just stand on the pegs and rev it up a bit. This little rocket will get you across the trail in a hurry. It is the best kept secret in trailing! Show less

This is a big boy's toy. This bike even has the dirt bike boys wondering. My bike has about 700 miles on the asphalt and the rest off road. I have ridden across the Mojave Desert and even through the BLM. It takes everything you can throw at it and keeps smiling. On Thanksgiving '08 I rode some rocky terrain and broke a crank case cover and rode 25 miles back to camp while leaving an oil trail. I had the cover welded at work and filled the bike with oil and we are back in action. I love this bike! Show less

I have had just about every type of bike. This bike by far beats the rest in comfort and overall riding. I love this bike and would not choose another one over it. Show less

I took the motorcycle safety class and received my license. I have been riding since then. This is my first bike. The bike is very fast. It does everything that I would like. I had not been on one until this one. I bought it new in 2007. I have added an undertail, slip-on exhaust, tank bra, tail light and flashed the front lights in. This bike looks very nice. I plan to jet it this riding season. It is a very nice bike for a first bike. I have logged over 13,000 miles on it. I take it everywhere including long road trips. I've done 400 miles on a one-day ride. I love this bike! Now I am thinking more power. Show less

Girls or boys, if you ever want to ride a mean looking yet comfy bike, this is the one for you. It's the best ride for your money. I got the bike bug, and let me tell you this has taken care of it. It is awesome on the road, rides so well you wouldn't even think it's a 250. Let me tell you, only the bike experts or people you tell will know what you're riding. I am having so much fun! It's the best feeling ever! Show less

This bike features a great price, reliability, mileage and it is easy and lots of fun to ride. It does not get blown around on the highway and runs great there. I commute the thing 30 miles each way to work on most days. As a beginning rider, I love the thing and I do not see me outgrowing it ever. Show less

I've ridden other 600s and none compare to the ZX6. It can handle turns at high speeds, and I mean very high speeds. I've never ridden a bike that handles the turns like this one. And to mention the speed, nothing needs to be said. It does seventy in first gear and one hundred seventy-five on the track without redlining. Nothing else needs to be said. Show less

This is the best all around bike I have owned since 1964, the year of my first bike. 700 mile days are no problem; wind and rain are no problem; and MPG is good for a bike like this. The magazines talked about engine heat but there is very little. With boots on it is not felt. I feel sorry for my dealer as he will not be able to sell me a new bike for a very long time. Show less

I am very happy with the Kawi 900 custom. It has great power and acceleration. The only complaint I have is it feels like it needs a 6th gear. It revs high at 70 mph and above and vibrates a good bit. As soon as I can, I'm going to add an overdrive pulley to decrease RPM at higher speeds. Other than that, I can find nothing else wrong with it considering the price. Fuel injection and the belt drive are great; it's almost like getting upgraded for free. It looks cool and garners a lot of compliments. Show less
