While Kawasaki may have a KFX50, they're not selling it until they see how the CPSC thing pans out. They are however, still offering the KFX90. The KFX90's 89cc air-cooled, OHC, four-stroke single is mated to a chain driven CVT tranny with a removable collar that allows parents to increase the machine's speed at their discretion. 2.8" of suspension travel graces the front, while 2.9" grace the rear of the 35.6" wide machine. Dual drum brakes up front, and a single disc in the rear provide the stopping power. The KFX90 weighs in at 262 lbs, is available in "Bright White", and comes with a 12 month Warranty.
