Kawasaki KX 327 - 2027 Specifications and Reviews
The Kawasaki KX 327 marks Kawasaki's return to two-stroke motocross for the first time since 2007, and its first all-new two-stroke over 250cc in more than two decades. The fuel-injected 327cc single-cylinder engine is designed to blend the light, lively character of a traditional two-stroke with modern fuel-injection technology, targeting a flat torque curve for confident handling of technical terrain at low and medium RPM. It produces a claimed 60 hp (59.2 hp) and weighs 106 kg fully fuelled, for roughly a 1.65 kg/hp power-to-weight ratio. Suspension comes from KYB front and rear - a 48mm reverse telescopic fork and a single rear shock - with Nissin brakes at both ends, an aluminium perimeter frame, Renthal handlebars, and two selectable power modes.

Rider Profile
| Best For | Aimed at experienced motocross riders - the aggressive two-stroke powerband and total lack of ABS or traction control demand real off-road skill. |
| Purpose | A dedicated closed-course motocross competition bike, not intended for road use or trail riding. |
| Rider Fit | A light, purpose-built race bike (106 kg fully fuelled) that requires an aggressive standing riding style and real physical fitness to control. |
| Character | Kawasaki's first new big-bore two-stroke motocrosser in over two decades, reviving the classic KX two-stroke lineage with modern fuel injection. |
| Not Ideal For | Not for road use, not for beginners, and not for anyone wanting creature comforts or electronic rider aids. |
