Performance, innovative features and sporty styling have always been reserved for big-bore machines. Until now. This is the brand Kawasaki AR80. And you’ve never had this much motorcycle in a package that’s as light, as nimble and as fun. Swing a leg over the seat and tuck yourself in behind the sleek quarter fairing. Your sporting stance echoes the racy styling of the new AR80. Those lightweight, gold-accent, cast-alloy wheels. The smooth, downswept exhaust system. Low tucked-in handlebars. And the looks are not deceiving. The AR80 really moves out! With its precision-ported, 78cc, reed-valve two-stroke engine, CD ignition and six-speed gearbox, the AR80 can flatten hills as well as many larger machines. And when the road gets twisty, the leading-axlew forks and rac-proven Uni-Trak rear suspension will guide you around with uncanny precision. There’s even a hydraulic front disc brake to help make your stops quick and sure. For big-bike styling and features in a smaller package, you can’t beat the new Kawasaki AR80. And the same goes for its performance.
