Time to Get Serious
The Kawasaki KX™65 is a great place for riders to get their first taste of competitive riding. With its powerful two-stroke engine, lightweight chassis, disc brakes, long travel suspension – and a compact size that fits young racers– the KX65 is a fitting motorcycle on which to take that first step on the path to motocross glory.
The KX65’s liquid-cooled, 64cc engine produces an incredible level of power for its small displacement. The smooth-shifting transmission and manual clutch helps transfer that power into the ground. The swingarm of its semi-double-cradle steel frame is equipped with Kawasaki’s legendary UNI-TRAK® linkage system, which alters leverage on the rear shock as the suspension is compressed, so that small bumps receive light damping and larger bumps receive progressively firmer damping for a smoother ride and better control. Both the shock and fork boast four-way adjustable rebound damping for optimal handling. Lightweight black aluminum rims reduce unsprung weight to help improve suspension action, and offer the same aggressive look as the rims on the larger KX models. Both wheels feature hydraulic disc brakes that not only provide great stopping power but require little maintenance and simplify wheel removal.
Younger riders who race their KX65 at designated events are eligible to receive support from Team Green™, Kawasaki’s amateur racing support program. Each year, Team Green provides regional support vehicles and highly trained technicians at more than 100 events, offering technical information and assistance to those who race Kawasaki products. Kawasaki also offers a comprehensive contingency program for amateur and professional riders who place well at designated events.
Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.
