Message: [QUOTE="gwcrim, post: 636067, member: 35528"] I have less than a year on my '89 KX5. My previous dirt bike was a '75 CR125 that I quit riding in... oh say.... 1982. I also have about 5 yrs street riding on Sportsters. So I'm no pro or pro wannabe. That being said, I'd never, ever, ever buy anything less than a 500! This bike ROCKS! More power than brains. Handles fast trail riding as hard as I care to push it. Climbs any hill I have the guts to point it at. Vibrations? Hey... I ride a Harley. Motorsickles are supposed to vibrate ain't they??? The KX5 is now in it's 14th year on the same basic engine/chassis combo. It's well sorted out and a proven winner. I doubt that there will ever be a successor so parts should be available for a long time to come. If you are a picky top level rider, I'm sure you could find something wrong with one... handling, suspension, whatever. But for your average adrenalin junky on dirt, there ain't no better ride. :aj: [/QUOTE]
