Learning racers need the same advantages as professionals. Kawasaki provides them with the KX™65, a real downsized racebike for youngsters. Competition-bred features include a potent, high-output liquid-cooled 2-stroke engine that uses a 4-petal reed valve, tuned expansion chamber and big-bike racing technology. There’s also a precise manual clutch and 6-speed gearbox, and an adjustable fork and UNI-TRAK® rear suspension. If you plan on going racing, here is a mile-wide head start.

Many of today’s Supercross champions began their careers riding youth-sized off-road motorcycles at Pee Wee tracks and recreational areas across the country. From Jeff Ward to James Stewart, every one of them daydreamed of loading up the truck with dad and heading out to ride.

The Kawasaki KX™65 is made just for them. With its liquid-cooled, high-performance two-stroke engine, full-race chassis, long-travel suspension and disc brakes, the smallest KX model is the starting point for young riders who want to emulate their Supercross heroes. 

The heart of the KX65 is a liquid-cooled, 64cc two-stroke engine matched to a smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission and manual clutch.

The engine is bolted into a semi-double-cradle steel frame, and like the larger KX models, the KX65’s swing arm uses the UNI-TRAK® linkage system, which applies progressively stiffer damping and spring rates to the single rear shock as the suspension is compressed. The shock and fork boast four-way adjustable rebound damping for optimal handling.

Lightweight aluminum rims reduce unsprung weight to help improve suspension action, and both wheels feature hydraulic disc brakes that not only provide great stopping power, but require little maintenance and simplify wheel removal. Plus, the KX65 features a new two-tone seat, just like the new KX450F.
