Kawasaki Brings Back the Big Two-Stroke With the KX327
Share
Kawasaki is getting back into big-bore two-strokes with the 2027 KX327. This competition machine marks the brand's first full-size two-stroke off-road motorcycle in nearly two decades. It also stands as Kawasaki's first production fuel-injected two-stroke motocross motorcycle.
The motorcycle is built around a newly designed 327cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. Kawasaki paired that displacement with electronic fuel injection and an electronic exhaust power valve. The chassis uses a lightweight aluminum perimeter frame adapted from the KX450F, paired with 48mm KYB coil-spring forks up front. Factory equipment also includes push-button electric start, a hydraulic clutch, and selectable engine maps.
This news applies to riders in the U.S. and international markets. For two-stroke competition riders, it brings modern fueling and quick electric starting to a big-bore class that went without factory green machines for years.
Are you ready to park your four-stroke for a 327cc fuel-injected two-stroke?
