Positioned in Kawasaki's cross - motocross motorcycle lineup, the 2025 Kawasaki Kx450Sr utilizes a 449 cc engine layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 96.0 x 62.1mm with a 12.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Kx450Sr measures 238.2 kg (525 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 37 mm (1.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 58 mm (2.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 1.64-liter (0.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
