How does 94 vs. 95 KDX200 differ?

[rmenguito]

There's a 94 KDX200 I've looked at, and I'll be checking out a 95 KDX200 tomorrow. I need help in looking at the specifacations or any model changes that happened between the two year models to decide which one would be a better deal. (94 has been priced lower of course) Thanks in advance to those who could give me some tips. Ciao! :confused:

The '95 would be the 'current' model. '94 had a different frame.
I've got 2 '95's. The only thing I've heard is weak clutch problems on the '95. I've not had any problems with mine, but I bought both used, maybe worked on, already. JustKDX timeline page....

These are two different bikes really. In '95, the KDX got a perimeter frame, and kawasaki went back to the standard forks from the inverted forks that the '94 had. The '95 also has a much better seat/ tank junction in my opinion. The '95 is much more modern than the '94. If the '95 is not too much for your budget, I would get it over the 94' unless the price difference is huge. Also check out the for sale forum here for used bikes.

Other than these differences: Frame, motor, suspension...I think they're about the same ;)
