Kawasaki KX 65
2020
2020
The 2020 Kawasaki KX65 is a staple in the youth motocross scene, continuing a long lineage of KX models designed to introduce young riders to competitive racing. This mini-motocrosser aims to provide a stepping stone for aspiring racers before they move onto larger machines. It competes directly with models like the Yamaha YZ65 and KTM 65 SX, all vying for dominance in the entry-level dirt bike market.
At the heart of the 2020 KX65 lies a 64.7 ccm (3.95 cubic inches) two-stroke engine. This displacement offers a manageable yet potent power delivery appropriate for its intended rider. The fuel tank capacity is 3.79 litres (1.00 US gallons), sufficient for short races and practice sessions. This relatively small capacity helps keep the bike lightweight and manageable for smaller riders. The engine's characteristics prioritize low-to-mid range torque, making it easier for young riders to manage the power and accelerate out of corners.
The KX65 provides a riding experience tailored for smaller statures. With a seat height of 759 mm (29.9 inches) at its lowest setting (if adjustable), it allows young riders to comfortably reach the ground and maintain control. The lightweight chassis contributes to easy maneuverability, both on the track and in the pits. Suspension components are designed to absorb bumps and jumps while providing ample feedback to the rider, fostering confidence and improving riding skills.
The 2020 Kawasaki KX65 is geared towards young, aspiring motocross racers looking to hone their skills and compete at a high level. It provides a platform for learning essential riding techniques and gaining experience in a competitive environment. Its manageable engine, low seat height, and lightweight design make it an ideal choice for those starting their motocross journey, offering a blend of performance and accessibility for the next generation of riders.

• Small engine size means it will quickly become underpowered as the rider's skill and weight increase. • Suspension components are basic and may not be adequate for aggressive riding or larger jumps. • Limited adjustability in the suspension settings restricts customization for different rider weights and terrains. • Two-stroke engine requires pre-mixing oil with fuel, adding a step to the fueling process. • Vibrations from the two-stroke engine can become tiring during extended riding sessions.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
