Review
The 2006 Kawasaki KX85 II (Grossrad) is a competitive mini motocrosser designed for aspiring racers. Its 99cc two-stroke engine delivers a claimed 28.8 horsepower and 18.4 Nm of torque, providing a punchy and responsive powerband that's well-suited for the track. A 6-speed gearbox allows riders to keep the engine in its sweet spot, maximizing acceleration and control. With a weight of just 65 kg and a seat height of 840 mm, the KX85 II is nimble and manageable for younger riders. Ergonomics are geared towards smaller riders, allowing for an aggressive and confident riding position. The suspension is designed to absorb bumps and jumps on the motocross track, providing a stable and controlled ride. The 5.5-liter fuel tank is sufficient for race distances. The KX85 II is the ideal platform for young riders looking to hone their skills and compete in motocross. Its lightweight design, responsive engine, and race-ready suspension make it a serious contender in the mini class. It offers a great balance of power and handling, allowing young riders to push their limits and develop their racing abilities.
