Built around Kawasaki's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2010 Kawasaki KX 85II features a 84 cc (5.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the KX 85II measures 71 kg (157 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 841 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 5.5-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
