Kawasaki KX 85 Dirt Depreciation & Resale Value

Kawasaki KX 85 keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #572 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Kawasaki KX 85 retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #572 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 2 points above the 63% five-year average for Dirt in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Kawasaki KX 85 sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $4,949 it falls to around $3,221 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,728, about $0.95 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Kawasaki KX 85 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
