The Kawasaki KDX175 was part of a range of enduro machines manufactured by Kawasaki to compete with the other big Japanese makers in the race for market share of an expanding sector in the late 1970s and 1980s. The KDX175 was found by many to be a particularly capable machine on the dirt, and sold well, until being replaced by the KDX200. KDX engine sizes varied from 50 to 450cc.
This KDX175 project comes with 2 petrol tanks and 2 dual seats and forms an opportunity for an enthusiastic new owner to restore one of these iconic models.
