[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1349982, member: 18302"] I've done a '90 200 and a '91 KDX250. My buddy had an '88 and I also had an '84, but those were not dual sported. The KDX is not well suited to sustained 50+ mph cruising, even if you gear it up. It can do it for short distances, but if you plan lots of highway miles, I'd look to something with a larger motor. For connecting trail networks via short stretches of road that require a plate, the KDX is great. You can carry oil in small plastic bottles in your fanny pack, and mix in the tank at the gas station. Did it many times, with no problems. One thing to be careful of with a pre-mix two stroke on the road is using engine braking after a sustained high speed run. Hot motor + lots of revs - cooling fuel and lubricating oil = potential crank bearing or piston failure. Just pull the clutch in if you are coasting with a very hot motor and you should be fine.
