Here we go with the next year's kids' dirt racing bike, the 2013 Kawasaki KX85-II. Don't let yourselves be fooled by the bike's diminutive profile: it can deliver quite a punch and you won't believe your own eyes what it can do for the skilled junior.
The 84cc 2-stroke engine runs in the optimal temperature range thanks to the advanced water-cooling system, and the Keihin carburetor makes sure the bike runs smooth at both low and high speed. A fully-adjustable rear shock ensures good traction over multiple terrain textures, while the disc brakes offer dependable stopping force.

The 71 kg weight (~157 lbs) makes the bike very maneuverable, especially with a race-specced 6-speed gearbox and 16-way compression damping forks. No lights and no blinkers,though, so the 2013 Kawasaki KX85-II is not a street-legal bike.
