| Kawasaki's profilation of this bike | 
  | And the KX250F is indeed worthy of such envy: in its first year of competition, Team Pro Circuit/Kawasaki/Chevy Trucks racer Ivan Tedesco rode this four-stroke Kawasaki to victory, clinching the 2004 AMA THQ Supercross Series 125cc Western Regional Championship. |
