Het Franse Bud racing uit Hossegor blaast 25 kaarsjes uit en wou dat luister bij zetten met een ongemeen cool project. Ze namen een Kawasaki KX 125 uit 2003 en bouwden de machine om tot iets “hoe ze het in Japan hadden moeten doen”. De KX kreeg een upgrade naar hedendaagse normen en werd onderweg een KX 150. Kawasaki fans gaan hier heel zeker van kwijlen want dit machientje ziet er ongemeen gaaf uit.
