[QUOTE="NM_KDX200, post: 1039316, member: 38052"] I'm 5' 6" and ride the 2 bikes in my signature. The KX125 fits me perfectly, the KDX is a little bigger feeling (wider seat and taller rear). The KX has no bottom end. None. I've ridden it over the same rocky, bank infested trails as I've ridden the KDX and it's just not much fun at all. Much harder to reliably loft the front wheel and it has to be 1/3 throttle to do anything. On a track, it's a blast. In the desert, it's a blast. In the woods....no thanks. In the woods, the KDX is great. In the desert, my KDX (steering damper, FMF desert pipe, reeds, revalved suspension, etc.) is not bad, not bad. On the track, the KDX is okay, but no KX. If I had to ride the KX on trails, I would have a) a flywheel weight, b) a larger tank, c) a long quiet spark arrestor muffler, d) a steering damper. By the time I did all that, I might as well ride the KDX. There's a big difference in the power delivery of the KDX and KX on tight twisty stuff with the former hooking up much earlier. Power-wise, the KX is fairly smooth. I really don't know much about a powerband because it's a 125 and 125's need to be ridden 1/2 throttle or up all the time. So, "powerband"?? I dunno. I can tell you that the clutch and gearbox work pretty well! [/QUOTE]
