Targeted at children looking for the basic motocross training, the 2004 Kawasaki KX65 sports a 64cc single-cylinder 2-stroke engine which provides a non-nonsense power just under 17 PS. This makes it the perfect beginner machine as it offers the race-worthy punch but it a rather tamed, unintimidating manner, just right for educational purposes.

The 2006 Kawasaki KX65 is a mini-enduro bike created for children. Its small size is perfect for the little riders and offers great handling and confidence, while the diminutive engine packs enough punch for racing. Thanks to the high-specs disc brakes, the 2006 KX65 can be ridden hard: there is more than enough stopping power for aggressive riding, while the revised ergonomics offer both freedom of movement and a less tiring experience.
