For 2002, both the KX125 and 250 have been further refined with changes to the engines to increase power and revised suspension to dial in the ride. Also the KX85 returns after an incredible debut year in 2001 where is won it’s share of amateur championships and was named Best Mini-Motocrosser by Motocross Action magazine. This mighty motocrosser is the answer to championship dreams. Followed by the mid-sized KX100 which incorporates many of the KX85 improvements. They will definitely be front runners on the amateur scene. The mightiest of minis is the full-featured KX65 for those who want to eventually make the transition to the bigger minis. It has revisions to the frame and suspension for improved performance. Having the KX60, KX65, KX85, and KX100 to choose from, the future stars of the sport can graduate to each level as they develop their skills and ambitions. The big-bore KX500, nine-time winner of the famed Baja 1000 and choice of bike for champion Team Green® riders Destry Abbot and Brian Brown, continues its reign as the king of the open-class motocross bikes. Its reputation for class leading performance has made it a legend in its own time, but check it out for yourself.
