The all-new 2003 KDX50 is the Kawasaki motorcycle parents and kids have been waiting for. Built specifically for smaller riders, the KDX50 is a great entry-level machine for youth 6-11 years old who are just beginning to enjoy the sport of off-road motorcycling.

The KDX50 is equipped with many features designed to help kids learn the fundamentals of motorcycle riding, including a single-speed automatic clutch and transmission. Because safety is a vital concern with novice riders, adult supervision is made easier with adjustable power limiters that allow parents to control their child's speed and progress.

The KDX50's two-stroke, 49cc engine boasts an exceptionally smooth powerband, which is important for kids who are learning the fundamentals of motorcycle balance and throttle control. In addition, the KDX50 features height-adjustable suspension, which regulates seat height, so youth riders won't quickly outgrow the bike. Meanwhile, front and rear drum brakes give the KDX50 ample stopping power, while full knobby tires provide necessary off-road traction.

Starting the KDX50 is a breeze, thanks to a digital CDI ignition and smaller-sized kick-starter. Maintenance is simplified with the automatic oil injection system, which also eliminates the need to use premixed gasoline for this little two-stroke. Like the larger displacement KDX motorcycles, the KDX50 comes standard with a U.S. Forestry Service-approved spark arrestor.

Bodywork and design on the KDX50 is nothing short of stylish. With a 0.53-gallon motocross-inspired plastic fuel tank, fenders and frame covers, and covered in classic Kawasaki lime green plastic, the KDX50 looks just like one of the big boys.
