If you want to be competitive on an MX track, you'd better be on a MX'er. If you want to end the moto still breathing through your nose, then keep the KDX and just ride slowly.
Hey mud! I used to race the 125 pro class back in the late 70's.I didn't ride at all from 1980ish to 1992ish when I had a kx250 for about a year.I did not ride again until about a year ago.I've had my KDX for about 6 months,and I am now the fastest 250 pound,5 foot 9 inch,47 year old in my household.....maybe even on my block.I'm sort of like a latter day Ricky Carmichael gone to seed.Y'know,like if Ricky Carmichael ate Travis Pastrana,Jeff Ward,and maybe a 7 year old minicycle rider,and then washed them all down with chocolate syrup and coolwhip.( That is as disturbing a mental picture as any I've ever created. And yet....strangely accurate) I would say I'm about Vet novice frontrunner speed for about 3 laps,and then I might as well hand off my bike to ANYBODY who can let out a clutch without stalling,cos' they'll be faster and more useful than me on a dirtbike at that point. So I do have real stamina issues that I am working on,but I still want to go faster. I think my 220 doesn't have the power to launch me out of corners enough to be able to clear a triple or even some of the more difficult doubles I encounter. At my present weight,I was thinking I may try to strap a KDX under each leg to gain some momentum for the jumps......but I didn't feel that would be the most cost effective way to go.I definitely need more experience and stamina,but I think if I had more power and suspension,I would use it.
