Kawasaki KDX220 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1997-2005)
The Kawasaki KDX220R, produced from 1997 to 2005, is a renowned off-road motorcycle designed for trail riding. This robust model features a liquid-cooled, two-stroke, single-cylinder 216cc engine, equipped with a 33mm Keihin carburetor and the Kawasaki Integrated Power Valve System (KIPS). It delivers strong low-to-mid range torque, making it an ideal choice for challenging terrains. Throughout its entire production run from 1997 to 2005, the KDX220R was offered as a single trim model.
