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.
