which is a better woods and motocross bike?
CaptainObvious said:LMAO, you're all full of it.
They are the same bike, both built by Kawasaki. The only difference is the color of the plastics.
RM85 Rear ShockChili said:While you are correct on the RM85/KX85 not being one of the joint venture models you're still full of it when you get into the "higher quality" components on the KX. They are both decent bikes that have very similar power characteristics as they both have a powervalve engine in contrast to the YZ/CR.
Cody305 said:The Rm is hands down a better bike than the KX (stock) We have owned 3 RM's and the 05-06 models have been updated with better componants than the previous models. The KX is a dinasour. They haven't done anything to this bike in years besides BNG. Heck the KX won't even sit on a stand propperly. Very bad design!
With that being said, we broke the frame of our RM and have seen at least 3 others that have done the same(in the same place) We switched to the Honda CR and love this bike. It is an 05 model with the new carb and better porting than the 96-04 models. In a drag race side by side with the RM they were about equal in 1st and 2nd gear, but when the CR hit 3rd it was bye-bye to the RM. This was a stock CR vs a mod RM. Plus the Honda is put together way better than the other bikes. Parts are cheaper and esier to get too!

You are quite the Ambassador for DirtRider.net aren't you?
husabutt said:Do you regularly follow new members around looking for an argument?
husabutt said:I thought that I was bringing good information to the table in order to be helpful. An information exchange that benefits all.
husabutt said:you as a senior core member and obviously the most knowledgeable member of the website here treat newcommers in an antagonistic fashion right from the get go I can only imagine how things will be after a month or two. After you have run everyone off the board and declared yourself KING OF THE MINIBIKES then you alone will be able to spread your opinion to none without opposition.
husabutt said:You may not realize it but you have a moral obligation to set a good example on this forum to those kids that may look up to you for no other reason than you are an adult.
husabutt said:Off Road Motorcyclists are generally a great bunch of responsible people but there are rotten apples in every bunch.
husabutt said:If you have a problem with me then lets take it private. There is absolutely no reason to use bad language or to wage personal attacks against me in front of minors.
husabutt said:If you like the RM 85 that is just wonderful.
husabutt said:A drama queen? Nah. Someone that has been around the block a few times and has seen good exchanges of information turn into something so distasteful that a great resource becomes almost useless...... yeah.
A good exchange of information then we once again have a difference of opinion as I see it as almost useless.husabutt said:The KX has higher quality components.
