97-99 kx 125's

[Lonewolf]

i am hoping to get another bike soon and i have been thinking about a kx 125. i hear that the kx's are out dated compared to all the others out there but i am basically looking for a bike that has better ergonomics, lighter and maybe a more bottom end than the 91 cr 125 that i am riding now. i do mostly trail riding and the area that i live in is has lots of steep hills so more bottom end power will be better for me. please let me know what you think of these year kx's, will they be ok for me?

They will work fine, I'd go for 99 to get the more updated body work, that or be shop wisely and go for an '00. I know someone a few months ago got like practically a brand new '00 for 2500 you could barely tell it was used.

I had a 98 and it was a good bike, but you should probably spring for the newer body style just for parts availibility.

You can get parts for 97 thru current no problems. Plus on the 97,98 your boots wont catch on the side panels ;)
