Its safe to say once I do get a bike that I will be very much into it for many years to come. I'm already into the whole offroad thing due to the extensive use of my 4wheller. As far as buying used, I havent seen any around here(just a bunch of yamaha's). I also think I would rather have a new one, so I'm not buying someone eles problem. Now if anyone has some good performance part web sites, please let me know so I can see what I will be getting into when it does come time to get those new springs and exhaust.Henk said:Being completely new to off road you might want to consider a second hand bike. The KDX hasn't changed (except for "bold new graphics") since 1995. That way if dirtbikes don't completely take over your life the way they have ours you won't take a huge financial hit when you move the bike on to take up lawn bowls. If you can get a ride on somebody elses bike before you shell out the coin it may be a good idea. A road bike riding friend years back came and had a ride on one of my bikes and quickly came to the conclusion that it wasn't as easy as it looks, the fact that he was a complete physical wreck after 5 minutes didn't help. Needless to say we don't talk to him any more as he has rejected the only true faith.
Seriously, you're buying a 8yo bike brand new. It's old. There's been no R&D into it since 95/96. Oh, do you want this year's graphics or last year's?moridin said:For some reason KDXs seem to sit on the showroom floor for some time.
Have been riding and racing KDX since 1997 have owned many bikes but none as versatile as the KDX. With a bit of work you can get the bike to suit your needs whatever they are enjoy the ride.pa_duster said:Im looking for input from all of you pro's out there. I am new to the dirt bike world (but not a total idiot). I have been highly considering a brand new KDX200. I am 6', 195lbs. My main focous will be offroad/trail and maybe some light racing. To all-- Please let me know why I should or should not get this bike. Also, give your opinion on what I should get if not the KDX.
Thanks to all!
