John Dowd loves two-strokes! This bike was custom-built using a KXF250 Frame and KX250 engine. The bike is fast as seen by the holeshot Dowd got at the Unadilla FMF 2 Stroke Invitational. (not including Weinert.. who had a little advantage )
Unfortunately the Kawasaki factory would prefer that he race the four-strokes and not this bike. So you may not see it around all that much. Since it’s appearances may become rarer in the future, here are a few pics.
