Thanks everyone for the replies!
I am still looking and debating on what to do. I know that I have to sell my XR600 still. But I came off a CR250 before that, 1987 model and loved that offroad. I thought that the 600 would be it, but I keep riding in thicker and tighter woods here locally so I need something quicker and lighter than the baja bike.
Looks like a found a nice kdx250 for under $1800. Lots of new parts -- pipe, silencer, KX head that is P&P, kickstarter, throttle springs and a few others. It needs new fork seals and a few plastic guards to make the bike complete.
Where is the best place online to get replacement OEM Kawasaki parts like fenders, plastics and fork sliders? I cannot figure if buykawasaki.com has a order site like Service honda.
Thanks again for the replies!
