Another point I just remember about the KDX220 that seems a little weird is the handling.  Not the cornoring, they do that beautiful, but they are extremely light in the front.  I doesn't take nothing to wheely in third and fourth gear on that bike.  I'm mainly base this comparison against a 2001 YZ125 that I've ridden a bit this season, and from other bikes in the past.  And while each bike is different, none of them had such light front ends.  The 220 I ride wheelies constantly, kinda scary till you get it mastered, then it's cool.  In comparison; when I exit a cornor on the MX track with the YZ125, I get mad wheelspin, then it hooks and goes.  With the KDX220, it spins very little, hooks up, then lifts the front end up coming of the berm.  It's wicked cool, and I really like it now that i've mastered it.  :p    The bike jumps beautifully too, it's very controlable on the face up the jump, it does what you tell it to, nothing more.  I think it's wheely tendencies are a compilation of its taller height, shorter wheelbase, heavy weight, and torque.  It's a fun bike though, and I love it dearly.
