I haven't seen any around here besides the one my bud bought, so they are not very popular, and the kdx is an excellent bike. With that said I have to say I am very impressed with the ATK 125 he bought last fall. It is a true woodsbike. I weigh about 200 lbs and it carries me no problem. He weighs about 185. It's a 2 stroke with a 3 gal tank, the tank and rad shrouds are 1 piece. Handles built in to the side plates, renthal or tag bars, heavy spokes, talon hubs, counterbalanced motor, kickstand, reserve. optional lightkit. It's streetable if you put dot tires on it. Wide ratio 6 speed. All stock items. The only place I get him is on takeoff and big hills. In the woods it has my mx beat by a mile.Also a Rotax engine. They also make a 250. American made with a pricetag that matches or beats the jap mxers. If I had to do it again I would have gone with this bike. Maybe the 250 though.
