Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki KX 65 2022 A desire to go above and beyond
presentation of the KX 65 2022
Young, very young cross-country enthusiasts have access to some already lively machines to gain experience, and even more than that. The KX 65 takes the fun to the next level. Having been on the market for a number of years, the Kawasaki doesn't come across many people on its way, but it does cross swords with a worthy adversary: the KTM 65 SX. Faced with the European, the Japanese has to contend with less effective suspension in hard use and a more advanced engine. On the other hand, the KX boasts a much more reasonable price: almost 2/3 of the Katoche's, and a different operating budget too. With the green one, you learn, you master, you enjoy.
For the uninitiated, a 64 cm3 single may seem fair. Nonsense! With a 2-stroke, you can get a lot of watts out of it. And the Kawa engine is claimed to be more powerful than 125 4-stroke engines. It's enough to get you through greasy terrain, especially as the bike weighs just 60 kilos in the wet. A double-cradle steel frame, aluminum rims, 6-speed gearbox, front and rear disc brakes and a small 3.8-liter fuel tank all add up to a good afternoon's riding. Since 2018, the KX 65 has seen the arrival of a kiddie agitator in the valley, the Yamaha YZ 65.
