HEROES START HERE…

The path to the podium starts early. Get them hooked on Motocross aboard the KX65. It’s the ultimate learning tool to mold young racers during their first motos in the world of competitive riding.

Any aspiring motocross champion will want to consider the KX65 as their first choice for an entry-level motocross racer. This is where it gets real, with a six-speed transmission, plenty of get-up and go, solid stopping power and great handling.

The liquid-cooled, two-stroke 65cc engine means the KX65 has power to get the rider out of the corners and down the straights to the checkered flag. It can soak up the bumps with its 33mm fork with four-way rebound damping adjustment, while the rear features Kawasaki’s Uni-Trak single-shock system with adjustable rebound damping and fully adjustable spring preload.

Color: Lime Green

Absolutely nobody can exceed the championship legacy of Kawasaki and the KX™ motorcycle. At any level. KX has more combined professional 250 and 450 class SX titles than anyone. At the amateur level, legends like Villopoto, Carmichael, Stewart, Emig, and McGrath all launched their incomprehensible professional careers with support from Team Green™, our amateur Motocross program. The common thread? The KX is The Bike That Builds Champions.

2016 Kawasaki KX65 www.Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

Kawasaki’s smallest motocross racer is loaded with big KX features to keep young riders at the front of the pack. Boasting aluminum rims, adjustable suspension, digital CDI, and fast revving flywheel, the KX65 is a serious competitor.

The Kawasaki KX™ family of motocross bikes is the breeding ground for champions. The proof began in 1974, when the first KX450, KX250 and KX125 were unveiled in the US. Since then, Kawasaki has been a dominant force in the history of supercross and motocross racing. We build the bikes that make champions.

Look no further than four-time supercross champion, Ryan Villopoto who is one of the most successful riders of all time, and is continuing his winning ways on the world stage in the FIM Motocross World Championship. Riding the KX450F, Villopoto is proof that the best way to start a championship run is on a Kawasaki.

Amateur racers who purchase a Kawasaki KX motocross bike gain access to Team Green™ – Kawasaki’s industry-leading support program that has been around since 1981 and has helped many motocross/supercross stars move through the program.

Team Green’s Trackside Support program covers more than 50 local, regional, and national amateur motocross and off-road events across the country, where Kawasaki technicians and race transporters provide emergency parts, technical assistance and racing tips to all Kawasaki riders.
