Forgive me Kawasaki gods for I have sinned. Bought my self something new to play with. The picture should well and truly give it away but we'll see who can nail it.

Kawasinley is on it.
Going by the rear facing exhaust, the short stroke and the dent in the short kick starter its definately a YZ 250 F 2010-2014.

That be a Yamaha I'd say. Probably the best choice in dirt bikes these days.

Close but no cigar. Yz450f. I picked it up Friday but just finished putting a couple of things on it today. Thought I'd see what this dirt bike thing is everyone keeps talking about. Road it around the house for a short squirt today. There may be something wrong with the suspension, the front wheel keeps coming up for no good reason.

No problem with over heating here (when I ride around the house in first -maybe second gear for 5 to 10 minutes)
