KX85
At both the amateur and professional levels, Kawasaki has long been the dominant brand in mini-motocrossing, with many of today’s top professional riders getting their start on KX minicrossers. Kawasaki continues this tradition by offering a trio of completely revamped green meanies: the KX100, KX85 and KX85-II. The KX85-II (big wheel) motorcycle brings Kawasaki’s proven performance to the amateur ranks. Proportionate power of the 84cc engine and race-ready technology grant young racers the championship-winning advantage they need to sharpen their skills.
