1994 KAWASAKI KX500 Works Edition
One-Off 512CC Factory-Caliber Custom Build
The Ultimate Open-Class Two-Stroke Weapon | Fully Custom | Billet Cases | Titanium Hardware | Pro-Level Suspension
If you’re looking at this spectacular KX512, you already know the legend of the Kawasaki KX500.
Massive torque. Brutal acceleration. Desert-racing dominance. One of the most feared and respected two-strokes ever built.
Now imagine what Kawasaki’s factory race department would build if they released a modern works KX500 today.
This is that motorcycle.
Introducing what may quite literally be the most spectacular custom-built KX500 in the United States — a fully restored, fully re-engineered, no-expense-spared 1994 Kawasaki KX512 Works Edition custom built by professional factory-level technicians using the finest components available on planet Earth.
This motorcycle is not a restoration.
It’s not a modified dirt bike.
It’s a hand-crafted, museum-quality, race-ready work of art.
And yes — it performs even better than it looks.
THE BUILD
This KX500 was built with one goal in mind:
Create the ultimate open-class two-stroke Kawasaki ever assembled.
The result is a one-off, fully custom KX512 featuring:
-
Polished Billet aluminum engine cases
-
Titanium hardware throughout
-
Modern KX450 Kashima/DLC front suspension
-
SmartCarb fuel system
-
VHM race head
-
Pro-level suspension setup
-
Full polished works finish
-
Oversized off-road/desert setup
-
Factory-race detailing throughout
This machine has been meticulously assembled with an insane level of craftsmanship and attention to detail rarely seen on any motorcycle — regardless of cost.
There are over 100 hours invested in this build, not including parts sourcing, polishing, coating, machining, suspension work, and specialty fabrication.
