One of the first opportunities for UK dirt bike fans to see Kawasaki’s highly anticipated new two-stroke in person, as Kawasaki becomes the first official manufacturer to back Dirt Bike Live.
Kawasaki’s new KX327 two-stroke is heading to Dirt Bike Live this February, giving dirt bike fans one of their first opportunities to get up close and personal with one of the most talked-about new bikes in the sport.
The highly anticipated machine will form part of a major Kawasaki presence at the brand-new event, taking place at the NEC in Birmingham, on 6 and 7 February 2027.
For fans who have followed the news, seen the images and watched the bike’s arrival generate huge interest across the sport, Dirt Bike Live will be a chance to finally see it properly, in the flesh and up close.
And this isn’t a concept or a glimpse of what might be coming further down the line. Visitors will be able to see the bike at Dirt Bike Live, then head to their local Kawasaki dealership and get one for themselves.
The news comes as Kawasaki UK becomes the first official manufacturer to throw its support behind Dirt Bike Live, the new event created to bring the entire UK dirt bike industry and community together under one roof.
Alongside the new KX327 two-stroke, Kawasaki will bring its outdoor race bikes to Birmingham, with Team Green riders also set to be part of the weekend.
For Dirt Bike Live promoter Matt Bates, the timing could not be better.
“I am thrilled to announce Kawasaki UK as our very first official manufacturer for Dirt Bike Live. The timing truly couldn’t be better.
This February at the NEC, dirt bike fans will have one of their first opportunities to get up close and personal with the incredible new KX327 two-stroke – a bike I know the entire motocross community is eager to see.
Kawasaki holds a special place in our sport and in our own history as multi-time Pro class Arenacross champions, so to have their support for the very first Dirt Bike Live means a great deal.
And there’s so much more for Kawasaki fans to look forward to. Alongside the new two-stroke, we’ll have outdoor race bikes and Team Green riders joining us across the weekend, giving fans a chance to get properly up close to the people and machines behind one of the biggest names in the sport.
This is exactly what we created Dirt Bike Live for: to bring the bikes, the brands, the riders and the fans together in one place. I can’t wait to welcome Kawasaki to Birmingham.”
Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing and Racing at Kawasaki UK, said:
“The reaction to the new KX327 two-stroke has been incredible, and we know there are a lot of people who want to see the bike properly for themselves.
Dirt Bike Live gives them one of the first opportunities to do exactly that. They’ll be able to get up close to the bike, see the details for themselves and talk to the people who know it best.
And importantly, this is a bike will be available to the public come February. Visitors can see it at Dirt Bike Live and then head to their local Kawasaki dealership and get one for themselves.
We’ll also be bringing our outdoor race bikes and Team Green riders to Birmingham, giving fans a much wider look at what’s happening in the Kawasaki off-road world.
We’re delighted to be the first manufacturer to support Dirt Bike Live and we’re looking forward to being part of its very first weekend.”
Dirt Bike Live takes place at the NEC, Birmingham, on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 February 2027.
Dirt Bike Live is the new home for dirt bikes, live. A place to see the bikes everyone’s talking about, get up close to the machines you’ve been watching online, meet the riders and people who make the sport what it is, and discover what’s happening across the dirt bike world right now.
