2005 Kawasaki KX125[edit | edit source]

The 2004 Kawasaki KX125 is a small-displacement motocross bike that is suitable for younger riders. However, due to its 2-stroke engine, the bike is capable to produce an awesome 41 PS power that's not that easy to master by the inexperienced pilots. Being a racing machine, it is not street-legal, so it's best to keep it on the dirt tracks or non-public roads and wilderness trails.

The carbon fiber crankcase reed valves and a Mikuni carburetor provide the 124cc single-cylinder power unit the necessary air-fuel mixture for dependable acceleration and fast throttle response. A special pass-through guard shaves off the mud from the chain so the 2005 Kawasaki KX125 will run smooth even in the most inclement of conditions. Disc brakes make sure there's enough stopping force to tame the beast.


2006 Kawasaki KX125[edit | edit source]

With a revised two-tone seat matching the new graphics, the 2005 Kawasaki KX125 looks as nice as riding it hard feels. The carbon fiber crankcase reed valves and a Mikuni carburetor provide the 124cc single-cylinder power unit the necessary air-fuel mixture for dependable acceleration and fast throttle response.

For the 2005 model, petal rotors have been added and make sure there's enough stopping force to tame the beast. A smart design lightweight clutch offers a most convenient and easy on-the-fly adjustment for the lever, thus granting better handling and faster shifting.


2007 Kawasaki KX125[edit | edit source]

The 2006 Kawasaki KX125 motocross bike gets a revised ignition and is now capable to deliver better power in the mid-range, while still offering top brawn in the higher revs. The factory-inspired graphics found a perfect match in the two-tone seat, while the narrow profile of the bodywork and shrouds offer a better grip of the machine, enhancing steering during fast corners.
