The KX450F that Jay Marmont will race for Monster Energy Kawasaki in 2012.

Kawasaki Australia has posted an exclusive first look on its Facebook Page at the 2012 model Monster Energy Kawasaki KX450F that Jay Marmont will race in 2012.

Marmont signed for the Queensland-based team this season after winning four-straight MX Nationals and last year’s Super X title for Yamaha.

The team has made a number of component changes for this year upon Marmont’s arrival, including the switch to Dunlop tyres, KYB suspension and Renthal Handlebars.

Also spotted on the bike is a new-look graphic kit from One Industries, which is vastly similar to the look that Ryan Villopoto’s Monster Energy Kawasaki team runs in the U.S.
