Perfect for introducing young riders to motocross, the 2008 Kawasaki KX85 II is a small-displacement motorcycle boasting a neat combination of power and diminutive dimensions, making it easy to handle yet brawny enough for racing. Disc brakes provide no-nonsense, dependable stopping force, while the inverted fork and rear shock are fully adjustable, ensuring good road grip and a smoother ride on difficult, rough terrain.
A revised radiator keeps temperature under control, while the narrow profile of this bike ensures seamless handling at any speed. The steel perimeter chassis ensures a rigid, responsive feel of the bike while at the same time providing a stable performance for the toughest of races.
