Across the 2002 and 2004 model years, the Kawasaki KX 85-II motorcycle has a listed dry weight of 149.9 lb (68 kg).
Kawasaki KX 85-II weight overview
Its low overall mass should be most noticeable off the throttle: moving it by hand, backing out of a parking space and managing stop-start riding should take less effort than on a heavy road bike. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Kawasaki KX 85-II weight FAQ
What is the Kawasaki KX 85-II dry weight?

No clear weight change appears in the usable model-year data. Other specifications may still differ by year.
What is the combined Kawasaki KX 85-II and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 329.9 lb (149.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Kawasaki KX 85-II weight ready to ride?
No. Dry weight excludes at least some operating fluids, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will weigh more.
How does Kawasaki KX 85-II torque compare with its weight?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 8.46 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
What is the Kawasaki KX 85-II engine-size-to-weight ratio?
The available figures work out to 0.56 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
Where will I notice the Kawasaki KX 85-II weight most?
The weight itself is unlikely to be the main difficulty. Rider reach, steering lock and where the mass sits may matter more at walking pace.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Kawasaki website.
