Kawasaki KX 85 - History
The KX85 came out in 2001; it is the successor of the Kawasaki KX80, with an increase in displacement to 85 cc, the maximum displacement allowed in most motocross competitions in this category.
The design of the new version has revised to be more in line with the bigger models KX 125 and KX 250. It now had two differently shaped radiator shrouds, making it easy to distinguish from the previous model.
The KX 85 is available in two versions, with small or large wheels, and is suitable for kids between approx. 1.30 m and 1.65 m.
The Kawasaki KX 85 is easy to use and really powerful considering its rather low displacement.
It is not road-legal, but designed for recreational use / competition on closed circuits / motocross tracks.
