The 2004 Kawasaki KX85 is a neat small motorcycle created to introduce kids to the world of dirt and motocross racing and is moved around by a brawny 84cc 2-stroke single-cylinder. Given the engine characteristics, this bike offers a lot of power, but not in an intimidating way; the manual 6-speed gearbox helps kids get used to handling a bike and tame the eagerness of the machine.

The 2004 Kawasaki KX85 II what we'd call a mini-enduro bike. This small-displacement motorcycle has been designed with children in mind and is one of the best ways to start training the young riders. While sporting a diminutive engine, the Kawasaki KX85 II still boasts a racing look and feel.
