KX™65  

The KX65, with its powerful two-stroke engine, lightweight chassis, disc brakes, long travel – and a size that fits young riders’ growing bodies – is a fitting way for children to get started on the path to motocross glory.
  • 64cc two-stroke engine with digital ignition offers ideal timing for better throttle response throughout the rev range
  • An electrofusion-coated cylinder with advanced exhaust and transfer ports for increased power and performance at higher rpm
  • Six-speed transmission offers positive action and rugged durability; hard chrome-finished shift fork ends resist wear
  • High-tensile steel frame offers exceptional torsional rigidity for excellent handling with a reinforced down tube for increased strength and durability
  • Uni-Trak® rear suspension offers progressively increasing spring and damping strength as the suspension compresses for a more controlled ride
• Front and rear disc brakes are light, powerful and resist fading
• Industry-leading amateur racing support through Team Green™

KX™85  

The 85cc-class mini-motocrosser has long been the training crucible for the world’s top racers. For much of that time, Kawasaki’s KX™85 has been at the forefront. The level of technology, power and berm-busting capability packed into this 152-pound rocketship is mind-boggling, and the way it can tear up a motocross track in an expert’s hands must be seen to be believed. It’s nothing short of a youth motocrosser’s dream machine.

• Liquid-cooled, two-stroke, 84cc engine features a lightweight Electrofusion-coated cylinder that improves heat transfer while resisting abrasion and seizure
• Kawasaki Integrated Power-valve System varies exhaust port height for increased horsepower and produces a powerband with more low-end torque and mid-range, while retaining excellent top-end power
• Uni-Trak® rear suspension is fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping and spring preload
• Rigid 36mm inverted cartridge forks are 18-way adjustable and provide better steering response and control
• 28mm Keihin PWK carburetor is tuned for ideal fuel atomization, providing quicker throttle response and a smoother power delivery
• Six-speed transmission has chrome-finished shift fork ends to resist wear and seizing while bushings on the second, third and fourth gears on the output shaft increase durability
• Industry-leading amateur racer support through Team Green™

KX™100                                         

Following the adage to use the right tool for the job, the KX™100 is the perfect instrument to help competitive riders step up their game – and begin to transition into the big leagues of 250cc full-sized Lites competition. The KX100 helps bridge that huge gap between classes, providing growing adolescent riders with a machine that accommodates both their growing skill base and their size, allowing them to concentrate on honing their capabilities rather than controlling excessive power.

• 99cc two-stroke engine is liquid cooled to help assure even running temperatures, consistent power output and greater reliability
• Kawasaki Integrated Power-valve System varies exhaust port height, helping to produce a broad powerband with more low-end torque while retaining excellent top-end power
• Six-speed transmission offers positive shifting action and rugged durability; hard chrome-finished shift forks resist wear and seizure
• Clutch has 119mm-diameter plates for durability and control
• Swingarm uses large cross-section beams for more rigidity
• Uni-Trak® rear suspension features a shock with adjustable compression, rebound damping and spring preload, while the 36mm inverted cartridge fork has 18-way adjustable compression damping

KX 250F™                                    

No other bike in its class has spent more time on the AMA Supercross podium than the Kawasaki KX™250F. The race-proven technology of the quarter-liter motocross leader returns for 2012, but with added enhancements that give the KX250F even more useable power, increased durability, and the best-handling chassis yet.

• New dual injector Digital Fuel Injection system
• More robust high-rpm engine output extends deep into the overrev
• Revised transmission offers improved shifting action and durability
• Thicker, stronger engine components improve reliability
• Revised Showa Separate Function Fork (SFF) offers more supple initial hit, and improved action during corner entry
• Increased spring rates on front and rear suspension enhance traction and offer a more solid feel

KX 450F™                                     

In the 450cc motocross game, the only thing that matters to serious racers is top-tier performance and running up front. And for 2012, the best tool for the job is once again a green one – Kawasaki’s reworked and revised KX™450F. In this arena you can’t stand still technically, which is why Kawasaki engineers scrutinized every system and component of the race-winning 2011model and came up with a host of tweaks that’ll have red, blue, orange and yellow wondering what hit ’em.

• Massively powerful engine
• Revised suspension settings
• Improved shifting performance
• Revised seat
• Refined ECU settings
• Easier fuel injection calibration system access
• Still easy to start!

KLX™110                                      

The standard KLX110 – with its reliable four-stroke engine, automatic-clutch drivetrain and electric, push-button starter – is much-loved by kids, beginners and adults for its unreal fun-factor and riding ease. But to expand the KLX110’s envelope a bit – make it even more accessible to even more riders – Kawasaki developed the KLX110L, which incorporates features designed to appeal to a slightly larger, slightly more advanced rider – along with all those adults who love riding the little green bikes!

• Push-button electric starting
• Four-speed transmission
• Super-dependable, torquey 111cc engine
• Automatic (centrifugal) clutch
• Low 26.8” seat height
 

KLX™110L                                      

• Manual clutch
• Four-speed manual transmission
• Longer suspension than a standard KLX110
• 28.7″ seat height is 1.9″ taller than a standard KLX110
• KX-inspired styling
• Roomy ergonomics

KLX™140                                        

KLX140L                                      

Describing the KLX™140 in one term is easy: multi-talented. And with its mid-sized stature, flexible engine and easy-to-ride nature, Kawasaki’s 2012 KLX™140 is the kind of versatile machine that can fit a variety of riders. Smaller riders will love the KLX’s physical size – a touch larger than a typical minibike – and push-button starting, while those a bit taller will appreciate the larger-wheeled KLX140L, which features a 19” front and 16” rear wheel in place of the standard KLX’s 17” front and 14” rear wheels. Both 140s are friendly to beginners and novices, yet both offer a roomy cockpit and enough performance and handling prowess to keep more advanced riders smiling.
