Sorry it is not a Kawasaki.

This looks a lot better setup then the old 2003 Yamaha WR450 AWD system.

Christini AWD 450DS - Christini Technologies, Inc.

Not a bad price either, $7700. less than most 450 MX bikes.

 

Made in china.

 

And the KLX is made in Taiwan.

Still looks like a decent bike. The 300 2-stroke uses a Gas-Gas motor.

 

KLX is made in Thailand at a Kawasaki facility. Christini made in China by who knows?

 

Thats right, I new it started with a T.

 

I like it. Never even heard of this kind of bike.

 

The Christini has been around for awhile. It's been tested by all the major magazines with very good results. It seems to get good marks from just about everyone. Yamaha raced this same type of front wheel drive system on a 450 at the Dakar during the last year the 690's were still qualified to race that event. It led the event for the first 3 or 4 days. It's not such an oddball deal as it sounds. There was one at our enduro 3 weeks ago, but I never heard how it scored.

 

For anyone still around from when we did the North east ride in 2007, there was a class A rider on one dual sported that rode with us for a bit of the last day.

 

Yeah, I have some pictures of that bike. Wasn't that guy an ISDE gold medalist?

 

I dont know...but he was a damn good rider.
