History of the Kawasaki KX 65

The 2000 Kawasaki KX65 was built completely from the ground up. A powerful new liquid-cooled 64.7cc motor provided thrust through a manual clutch and six-speed gearbox. Initially, Kawasaki kept the KX60 in the line up to appeal to smaller riders, but in 2003, it was put out of production for good, leaving the KX65 as the sole Japanese offering in the 65cc class. In 2003, the KX65 would also get a slight bump in suspension travel, but has otherwise remained unchanged. Today, the KX65 remains the only 65cc offering from the Big Four.
