[QUOTE="john_bilbrey, post: 847570, member: 40519"] Here's my take.... I'm riding a '03 220 with Gnarly Desert/PCII, jetted w/o airbox lid or snorkel. Stock suspension (I know, I know...) My Dad has been through several pumpkins since he has gotten back into riding. Started out on a XR400, that didn't last long. Then came the 380EXC (01 or 02) Round One. Crazy power, so much so that he kept it jetted rich to tame it. If he would have kept it, a couple of base gaskets would have been added to tame it more. Handling - it was all a matter of knowing how to control the throttle. Then came the 02 300EXC. Power - nice, it pulled down low like a champ and would run away with you up top. Handling - I don't know if it was the bike setup or what, but everyone who rode this particular bike ended up on their ears. Although, Dirt Rider (or Dirtbike?) picked it as the #1 woods weapon several times. Then back to the same 380. That didn't work this time either, just too many beans. Finally, we arrive with a 03 450EXC, Race Tech suspension, GPR, and proper jetting. Power wise, this thing is great. Pull off the bottom is great, and it'll push 100MPH of the showroom floor. Put it in 3rd and just ride. I love this bike, although it's a little stiff for me (I'm 185, Dad is pushing 300). The bike "feels" light everywhere except during loading/unloading, or after a spill. It is nimble for such a heavy bike, feels skinny. Plus, the magic button is handy. Bottom line- the KDX is, by far, the best dollar for dollar machine out there. With a few hundred in mods, it's going to be able to outride most of us out there. Plus, you can by two of them fully loaded for what one 450 pumpkin is going to run you. [/QUOTE]
