I had an 89 200 and rode the heck out of it for 5 years before I sold it. Much like the 95 I have now, I had no real problems or complaints at all. I am sure if it is in good shape you couldn't go wrong.

I had one years ago.
Only real drama was the flywheel letting go and keeping the rear drum brakes performing.The thing used to hit hard in the engine department.
Other than that it was a very good bike.
I liked it that much I have been KDX ever since(1987)

Kawierider. I found a second hand one at a wreckers over here in Australia.
I believe they are hard to find.
Sorry I can't help you with a new one.
