Kawasaki KX 250 Dirt Depreciation & Resale Value

Kawasaki KX 250 keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #585 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Kawasaki KX 250 retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #585 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 2 points above the 63% five-year average for Dirt in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Kawasaki KX 250 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $8,999 it falls to around $5,849 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,150, about $1.73 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Kawasaki KX 250 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
