If the KX 85 is going to be updated why do they show the same bike for 2014?

The 65 link was posed in response to the 65 statements...

The 85, on the other-hand...?

I've heard rumors of 85s & 100/105s under-going chassis testing...which I haven't heard in a long time!

Yes you are correct when you click on 2014 it goes back to 2012.

So maybe / hopefully the rumors are true!

The KX 85 kind of came out of nowhere. No one had seen or heard of it. and when they first came out as 5cc bigger, no kid wanted anything else. Have you ever noticed how kids have to brag about how tall or big their bikes engine is? they will say their KX85 is taller than some other KX85. I have heard them say this many times lol.

According to my dealer it will be released tomorrow the 8 of July. It will have 20% more power over the recent models, aluframe and the looks of the 250/450. Smile

Suzuki can't (bankruptcy) Honda they're commies LOL, Yamaha just spent 2 years on their 250F so it'll probably be a couple years for them now to come out with a new 85. KTM will stay the course wait till you see how many are on the line at LL's this year.

There seems to be a lot of rumors floating around about a new bike so something is up? If it's true they should be at Loretta's.

Welp, I was expecting it to just be a forum rumor. Can't believe it really exists. Props to Kawasaki

I would have been dissapointed. The 5 years Jake was on them he broke 4 frames and broke the swingarm 3 times. It sure doesn't look like anything has changed there. For the Dad's who switch out every year that may not be a problem.

BrocsDad I just happen to know a couple guys who know a couple guys that's all.
