KAWASAKI UNVEILS EXCITING
50cc YOUTH MODEL ATV FOR AGES 6-11
KFX50 introduces children to ATVing, provides
parents with exceptional recreational value
 Kawasaki
Motors Corp., U.S.A., has greatly expanded the “Let
the good times roll™” message to families who enjoy
off-highway recreation and trail riding by unveiling
the new KFX50 youth model all-terrain vehicle (ATV).
The KFX50 is a child-sized ATV for riders ages 6-11
and older, and boasts a wealth of features that
offer fun, dependability, exceptional value and
parent-monitored controls to families who enjoy
being together in the great outdoors.
“We’re very excited to add the KFX50 to the Kawasaki
ATV lineup,” said Vince Iorio, ATV marketing manager
for Kawasaki. “Our child-sized KX motorcycles and
especially the new KLX110 are extraordinarily popular
with families, so we expect the KFX50 to be just
as popular, if not more so, simply because ATVs
have such broad appeal in the U.S.”
The KFX50 is powered by an air-cooled 49cc, two-stroke
engine that features automatic oil injection, so
premixing fuel is unnecessary. Safety features include
a built-in throttle limiter so parents can regulate
speed, as well as an ignition cut-off tether that
stops the engine.
 The
engine rides in a steel frame and power is transferred
to the rear wheels by lightweight chain drive. Suspension
duties are handled by A-arm front suspension with
dual shocks and a single-shock swingarm on the rear,
while stopping power is provided by front and rear
drum brakes.
Other features include full-sized floorboards for
confidence and safety, one-piece 7-inch wheels,
2.6-liter fuel tank, and a simple seat latch that
provides quick and easy access to the air cleaner.
Available in Kawasaki Lime Green, the KFX50 has
a suggested retail price of $1,799 and comes with
a six-month warranty that can be extended up to
three additional years.
