Kawasaki has launched two new motorsport bikes in India.
Both bikes can be used at sporting events.
These bikes are not street legal.
Kawasaki is focused on launching its affordable bikes in India. In that order, the company introduced KX 65 and KX 112 to the Indian market. The KX 65 was launched at 3.12 lakh rupees while the KX 112 was launched at 4.87 lakh rupees (showroom ex). Both bikes are the smallest displacement bikes made by Japanese bike manufacturer Kawasaki in India.
However, these two bikes differ from any other Kawasaki bikes that will be launched in India. Because of this, these bikes were introduced in India but remain unattainable for the customers. This means that the company has launched them but cannot sell them in India. Let us know what is the reason for this…

Bicycles are not street legal
Significantly, both new Kawasaki motorcycles, the KX 65 and KX 112, were not granted street legal status by the Indian government. This means that by law you are not allowed to drive them on public roads. This is because the company didn’t include this equipment, which is why they are legally allowed to drive on the road.
We tell you that motorcycles like the Kawasaki KX 65 and KX 112 are called dirt bikes. They are used at motor sport events. Generally, dirt bikes are not equipped with headlights, taillights, turn signals, and rear-view mirrors to keep them bright. It also uses a two-stroke engine, which is banned in India. Because of this, they are not given the status of a racing bike. Dirt bikes are considered street legal in many countries, but are banned in India due to the shortcomings mentioned.
However, if the company includes the bike’s headlight, taillight, and turn signals as factory-installed accessories, only these can be considered legal. Speaking of new bikes, the KX 65 gets a 65cc engine, while the KX 112 gets a 112cc engine. Both bikes are equipped with a liquid-cooled two-stroke engine.
