Default What is this?

"The one that never got imported into the US". I don't 'buy' it. It's labeled a KXC250R. It looks like a 'Frankenstein' job especially when you look at the newer styled front headlight shroud with the coventional Kawi front fender. The two obviously don't match up with the current Kawi body designs. The graphics look like an '07 design. Also, it's a two stroke. I can find nothing at all on Google with regards to this bike. It's obviously a hatchet job. Looks like whoever pieced this bike together did a pretty good job though. Thoughts???

Let me tell you about my month of bliss, do you like to wheelie at will? Do you like the feeling of no weight and being able to flick it from side to side? Then you can jump on the road to the next trail or errand? Oh forget it you'd hate the 2 stroke. I wish whoever took mine to .............oh well don't want bad karma.

Might be a bit more to it than just a headlight on a KX.
A side stand indicates at least some frame difference.
And it's one thing to put a headlight on for entry into Enduros.
All together a different proposition to get it plated.
(well at least that's the case here in Aus)

Still it looks a weapon.

Then again, so does the Kato.
Plate ready out of the box.
And electric leg.
mmmm
