Kawasaki has unveiled its first large-displacement two-stroke in over 20 years. Powered by a newly developed 327cc fuel-injected single-cylinder two-stroke engine, it features a counterbalancer and electric start. The motocross-spec KX327 is priced at $9,099, while the cross-country KX327X is $9,699, with sales planned for late 2026.

Fuel-injecting a two-stroke is nowhere near as easy as it sounds. Mixture control is delicate, an area everyone used to struggle with. And Kawasaki's brought it back to mass production after 20 years. That means the sensation of the throttle punching through on corner exit gets to come back to life through modern control systems. Even as an engineer, this gives me chills.

Is electric start on a two-stroke unusual? Nice not needing a kick-start.

327cc is such an oddly specific number, why not round it to 350?

$9,099, huh, by the time it lands in Japan it'll probably end up around ¥1.4 million anyway.

Is a two-stroke actually okay under today's emissions regulations?

With fuel injection plus a counterbalancer it's a different animal from old carbureted two-strokes, that part should be handled.

A newly-designed big-displacement two-stroke is just too exciting, been waiting 20 years for this.

A fuel-injected two-stroke is pure romance distilled, definitely want one.
