So, I am looking for a new bike. I am effectively looking to spend $3k on a very clean bike.
A few people have recommended 4-stroke bikes to me (CRF 250X, KTMs). I have been ridding a 90 KDX200 for some time now. Now, I was concerned with reliability of the 250, as well as a possible lack of speed.
Supposedly, the newer 250s are supposedly faster and would "clean up" on a KDX. But what about reliability?
I only have two main concerns about a KDX, and those are a possible lack of parts, and what is said to be outdated suspension. Personally, I love ridding the thing, and it fits my price range better than the Honda, but I am still sort of on the fence about this one.
Has anyone transplanted a modern inverted fork into one of these? Would it really benefit me that much for trail/fun ridding and possibly an enduro down the line?
Are the 220s really that unreliable? I see more of those for sale locally than the 200, but I am still a bit leery of them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
