I have been try to figure out what I want ( and can afford ) for my next bike. I think I have decided on a KDX 220 with an EFM auto clutch, left hand rear brake and some suspension work.
I haven't had a bike in a in long time and came across an 86 XR 250 I got fo $500 3 months ago. I put some tires, a seat cover and a Race Tech goldvalve kit for a 96 in the fork and have been ridingthe wheels off it. I can't believe how good this old thing goes in the woods. I can hang with most of the guys I ride with that all ride new KTMS and WR's. In the tight technical stuff I can usually break away from them.
So I really want to get something newer but don't want to give up low end torque and I kinda like the short wheelbase. The weight of the KDX should be about the same and everything else should be better. With the EFM auto clutch it should be awsome in tight gnarly New England stuff.
Have you guys ever tried an auto clutch on a KDX? It seems like the KDX would be an awsome bike to have the auto clutch on since everyone says it is like cheating on tough trails.
