[QUOTE="PaulKDX250SR, post: 1004910, member: 64862"] Ride my kdx250 to work everyday. Perfect bike for slow moving traffic and urban commuting. Bikes up to 250cc here require no yearly MOT (Brit) or Vechicle Test Certificate(US ?). The onus on road safety requirements, eg, brakes, tires, etc. is on the rider. The 'Shaken' as it is called in Japan is once every two years. It is not that cheap. As you can imagine there are a lot of 250s on the roads. It is a very cheap form of transport. In Japan they stopped production of 2 stroke bikes in around 1998. The last effort to cut down on emissions was Honda's CRM250AR series. The Active Radical system was designed to funnel unburnt fuel once more through the engine in order to cut down on waste and high emissions. I guess this was the last real technical input into 2 stroke technology by the big Japanese manufactures. The ARs are quite in demand, and good condition, low mileage bikes fetch a good price. My next bike will be an XR650R. How are they RedChili ? I will keep my KDX as well, as long as I can keep getting parts for the bike. 2,000 yen about 20 US a year in road tax to ride around Japan on a KDX. Fool not to ! [/QUOTE]
