Overview

The 2012 Kawasaki KX 85 II Monster Energy / Pro Circuit Limited Edition is a motocross bike from the KX family. Its liquid-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke engine displaces 84 cm³ and produces 18 Nm of torque at 10,500 rpm; the motorcycle weighs 71 kg.

The 871 mm seat height puts the rider high, which can make putting both feet on the ground harder for shorter riders. At 71 kg, the bike is easier to maneuver at low speed, and its adjustable front fork and Uni-Trak rear suspension let the rider tune damping and rear preload.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Adjustable suspension

    Compression damping is adjustable at both ends, with rear rebound damping and preload adjustment adding more scope to tune the suspension.

  • Low weight

    At 71 kg, it is easier to move around by hand and maneuver at low speed than a heavier motorcycle.

Things to consider

  • Tall seat

    The 871 mm seat can make ground reach difficult for shorter riders.

  • Torque peaks at high rpm

    The 18 Nm torque peak comes at 10,500 rpm, so reaching it requires running the engine at high rpm.
