[QUOTE="2strok4fun, post: 511964, member: 29753"] Placelast gave me the opportunity to ride the frankenstein bike (albeit a much better looking fab) so I will give my limited expierence. My first impression on sitting on it was what felt like a lower seat hight (compared to my 98 ktm 250e) and softer wider seat (again note the compared) The little 125 chassis felt tight and very manuverable. The suspension felt balanced, more than I expected coming off of 2 very different machines. In the power department, I dont have alot to compare it to as the last KDX I rode was probably a mid 80 model at the newest. I would say the motor lacked a little beans in the lower rpm range, then a noticeable hit in the midrange then pulls willingly without too much excitement to overrev/ top end. It seemed to respond to some clutching to bring up the rpm's to power (something I am not very good at doing smoothly) I wouldnt suspect powervalve sticking unless stuck open, and the bottom didnt feel that far off as if it was stuck. Without other modern KDX's to compare it to it is hard for me to tell what would be "normal" but I expected a little more grunt off idle. *If* this is NOT a typical KDX 200 power delivery, I would suspect somthing in the stinger area, length, diameter, as this looks like the only fabricated part that would affect the powerband. I would guess the hit could be mellowed with jetting changes, but that wouldnt give it the beans, just delivery. I dont think this is a platform to add huge power to and have it still be fun, but a little more wheel lofting tork would make this a real blast to get through the twisties. [/QUOTE]
