[QUOTE="BRush, post: 118215, member: 18729"] It is a [b]not[/b] a given that porting destroys low end and tractability. Sure, if you are porting to create a top end screamer you'll lose low end but, there's all kinds of porting. I can personally attest that with engine work by someone who knows what they're doing can really wake the KDX motor up while [i]improving[/i] tractability. I installed an Eric Gorr 225cc big bore kit, and had him do the "mo better" porting. The carburation was cleaned up by RB Designs carb mod. The result has been a vast increase in low - mid range and still pulls strongly on top. It delivers the power in a very linear, electric way. IMHO, The KTM's advantages lie more in it's chassis and suspension than in it's engine. Acutemp demonstrated that with a few mods the KDX 200 engine can out-torque the KTM 200 and has posted his dyno results for all to see on the JustKDX website: [url]http://justkdx.dirtrider.net/dynotesting.html[/url] These "which bike is better" debates are never ending, but really it's not that hard to bring the KDX up to a point where the issue of whether you or your buddy crosses the finish line first will depend more on rider skill (and luck..) than on who is riding the KTM and who is on the KDX. For a good road map on how to do this, check out Canadian Dave's project bike on his web site: [url]http://justkdx.dirtrider.net/projectbike/cdkdx.html[/url] Dave can probably answer this better, but I'm guessing that what he spent was a lot less than the price difference between the KTM and the KDX..
