Rider Profile

Best For	This is a youth-focused motocross machine intended for young, developing riders with basic off-road skills rather than adults or beginners to motorcycling in general.
Purpose	Built purely for motocross and off-road track competition, it exists to teach and reward proper riding technique on dirt circuits, not for street use.
Rider Fit	Its tiny 760 mm seat height and 60 kg wet weight make it suited to small, lightweight riders, typically kids, rather than average-sized adults.
Character	The bike is nimble, high-revving, and playful, rewarding aggressive throttle and body positioning typical of a race-bred mini motocrosser.
Not Ideal For	This is not for adult commuting, highway travel, passengers, or any rider seeking comfort, storage, or road-legal touring capability.

Units

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

Feet:

At 759mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Kawasaki KX65, with a cramped knee angle of around 65 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.
