[QUOTE="Johnboy, post: 44519, member: 16926"] Hi guys I have an 83 kdx200 and ride it a lot out here in Colorado. I do drastic elevation changes and have found the bike to be rock solid reliable. Now I've decided I want something newer with better suspension and more ponies so I have few questions: 1. what is a good year? I'm looking to spend around $2500-2800 preferably on the lower end (college student = poor) 2. how good and reliable are inverted forks and what years came with them? Are they heavy on maintenance? 3. Will a newer kdx do a 3000-5000 ft elevation change w/o needing to be rejetted? 4.How much low end torque will a newer bike have over my stock '83? (assuming it is also stock) 5.How much of a power increase would I get from a late model KDX compared to my 83? (The 83 seems almost perfect when it comes to low end power for climing hills slowly) 6. Since I ride the rockies and torque is the best thing in the world, should I look for a kdx 220? 7.How reliable are the newer kdx's? Are the radiators leak prone? Thanks a lot guys I hope you can help me out. ------------------ [/QUOTE]
