With our first look and ride review of the 2022 Kawasaki KFX50 completed, it’s time for us to send this small but highly capable sport ATV back to Kawasaki HQ. We’re happy to say it nailed every expectation we could ask of it. It’s an affordable machine that will hold its value and reliability over time. The air-cooled engine and chassis features are easy to maintain. It has a lot of the same features we love about adult-sized sport ATVs like a broad track width, true sport ergos and looks, motocross-style tires, and final chain drive. In short, it’s a fantastic first ATV that presents new riders with an excellent platform to hone new skills as they grow.

We shot a lot of photos of the KFX50, so many we couldn’t squeeze them all into our review. So here’s one last look at the 2022 Kawasaki KFX50 before we say goodbye.

Sporty looks have a lot in common with the former Kawasaki KFX450R full-size sport ATV, right down to a motocross number plate.Kevan Ray
