After riding with Jeff Fredette and taking a spin on his KDX, I am seriously contimplating buying a KDX. I currently ride a KTM 450EXC, which is an awesome machine. The only problem I have is when I have to pick it up off the ground. I want a lighter bike! I don't notice the weight when riding, but when I have to pick it up on the side of a hill it kills me. I'm 5'7", 150 pounds with a not so strong back.
I mostly ride relatively tight woods, very little open stuff and occassionally race enduro/harescrambles in the Vet B class. I saw on a web site that the KDX supposedly weights in at 222 pounds. I don't know if that is one of the phantom weights that are some times posted or not. I am interested in the ready to race weight with or without gas. If with gas.....how much does the tank hold?
I am also contemplating a 300exc, but that may be another story.
Thanks
