Kawasaki’s KX motorcycles are dirt bikes that have been designed for track use only. As this bike is not to be used on the road, it misses out on mandatory features like headlights, brake lights, indicators and mirrors. In terms of design, the KX looks sleek and gets a tall front fender, fork gaiters, upswept tail and a highly located exhaust. Both the KX65 & KX112 are offered in a single colour – Lime Green.
