The 2004 Kawasaki KX85 is a neat small motorcycle created to introduce kids to the world of dirt and motocross racing and is moved around by a brawny 84cc 2-stroke single-cylinder. Given the engine characteristics, this bike offers a lot of power, but not in an intimidating way; the manual 6-speed gearbox helps kids get used to handling a bike and tame the eagerness of the machine.
Adjustable compression and damping for the suspensions allows the 2004 Kawasaki KX85 to offer the best setups for a variety of riders, riding styles and surfaces, while the disc brakes provide reliable stopping force. Thanks to the narrow profile of the motorcycle, handling it through fast turns is much easier, while the rigid frame offers stability in a straight line and a better feel of the bike.
