Overview
The Kawasaki KX 450F Leo Vince Limited Edition is a motocross bike from the 2012 model year. Its liquid-cooled, 4-stroke single-cylinder engine displaces 449 cm³ and produces 50 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm; the motorcycle weighs 113 kg.
The 955 mm seat is high, making it harder to put a foot down when stopped, while 330 mm of ground clearance helps the bike clear ruts and obstacles. Its 113 kg weight is relevant when maneuvering at low speed. The 6.1 L fuel tank means refueling sooner than a larger tank would, and the adjustable front and rear suspension lets the rider tune damping and preload for the track.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Compression and rebound damping can be adjusted at the front and rear, with fully adjustable rear spring preload for tuning the bike to track conditions.

Things to consider
Tall seat
At 955 mm, the seat can make it difficult for shorter riders to reach the ground at a stop.
Limited fuel capacity
The 6.1 L tank means more frequent refueling on extended rides.
Chain final drive
The chain needs regular cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
