Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate to advanced young or lightweight riders already comfortable on a motocross-style machine, as this is a small-capacity competition bike rather than a beginner trail bike.
PurposeBuilt purely for motocross and off-road competition, prioritizing acceleration out of corners and jump performance over any street usability.
Rider FitIts tiny 65kg dry weight and low-capacity engine make it ideal for lighter, smaller-statured riders such as junior racers, with a seat height that is manageable but still track-focused.
CharacterA high-strung, aggressive junior motocross machine that rewards precise throttle control and active riding rather than relaxed cruising.
Not Ideal ForNot for adult commuting, highway travel, two-up riding, or anyone seeking comfort, storage, or road-legal touring capability.

2006 Kawasaki KX 85 II Grossrad Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 840mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2006 Kawasaki KX 85 II Grossrad, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
