Very fast bike. Goes 70mph stock. This is my first 2 stroke and I will never go back to 4 strokes. Does amazing jumps and balances easily. Once in a while spark plug will foul but nothing major. Just use some 220 grit garnet paper on it an it's as good as new. This bike will smoke any CR or RM....

This bike is awesome; I like it a lot more than the Honda and Yamahas because it has a power valve like the Suzuki 85 and the bigger bikes. The power valve makes a way better bottom, mid, and top end. I race about every weekend and all I have heard from the Yamaha and Honda riders is they wish they had my bik...

This bike is awesome; I like it a lot more than the Honda and Yamahas because it has a power valve like the Suzuki 85 and the bigger bikes. The power valve makes a way better bottom, mid, and top end. I race about every weekend and all I have heard from the Yamaha and Honda riders is they wish they had my bike. Also where I race you can clear every jump (up to 55 feet) in 3rd or 4th gear I also like how it handles in the whoops.

The KX 85 is a great bike for any rider. I have had a CR 85 and some trail bikes but nothing like this. The KX will come out of the gate before everyone else. The CR will smoke it but the KX will beat every thing else I have raced beside a KTM. My uncle has a Cr 250 and calls my bike a little rocket!...

AWESOME BIKE ... OK. the first time I raced this bike i won!! It's not the bike, it's the rider if they claim the bike made them lose the race. This KX has the potential to beat all other 85's. It also has more grunt to more easily go over jumps and through trails. All around great bike....

My '03 KX85 is a light bike which I can take over whoops, jumps, and any other obstacles really easily. It is a very reliable bike and the only thing I have to do once in a while is change the oil, replace the piston rings, and occasionaly get new tires.

The KX is cool but it takes too long for the powerband to kick in. However it's cool for wheelies I can do the whole block on my street. Overall it's a fun bike but the cr80 will destroy it on the asphalt....

My KX 85 is so far the best dirt bike I've owned. I love how it shoots you over the finish line and table tops and when you're going through the sandy corners. It doesn't bog down on you so you have enough speed for the next jump. I also love how easy it is to control. You don't have to hold on for dear life ...
