2006 Kawasaki KX 450 F Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Kawasaki for the cross - motocross motorcycle segment, the 2006 Kawasaki KX 450 F utilizes a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 96.0 x 62.1 mm (3.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the KX 450 F measures 99.8 kg (220 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 965 mm (38 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,486 mm (58.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.19-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
