I've had a 94 KDX 200 for about 2 years.  It's been totally reliable.  A very fun bike for tight trails.  I just recently bought a 00 YZ 250 to take to the track and have had a lot of fun with it on the trials as well. The KDX is more "cushy" for long trail rides but I love the "grunt" of the YZ but admit I can't last quite as long or go quite as fast...but then again I love the grunt on the low end and pulling wheelies in 4th gear!

I think I would go with a KDX 220, 95 and later (perimeter frame, etc.).  It doesn't rev as fast as the 200 (more like a 125) but will give you more bottom end for hills, etc.  If you find a 200 you can do a 220/225 kit and then you've got a 220.  Either way, you can't go wrong.

If you haven't posted this on the JustKDX board I'd do it.

PS.  If I were to go with a 200 because of the "flickability" and weight factor, I'd personally go with an KTM  MXC 200.  My neighbor accross the road just bought one...it's sweet!  Lots of low end grunt, almost like a 250 but very light and easy to throw around.  And it's fast!  But then you've got to think about what you opinion is about riding a "pumpkin?"  Good luck!
