[QUOTE="TexKDX, post: 194015, member: 16276"] Dude, A stock KDX will feel like a moped compared to a KTM 300 or 400. I had a '99 KDX 200 with the usual mods, replaced it after just 4 months with a '99 300EXC. 2 weeks ago a bud brought over a new '00 KDX200 and we did the pipe/jetting/bars/chain/airbox/etc thing to it. Man, what a pup, even after the mods. I had the Rev pipe on mine, and we put a Torque on his. I'll take the Rev any day thank you 'cuz the KDX needs all the help in the HP department it can get, plus the add'l revs broaden the total usable power. All this said, the main thing is to get riding again. If you could pick up a modded KDX in near new condition for a good price this would get you going, but if you get reasonably fast and update your riding skills around the modern bikes you will want something else. If you want to go blast and fart around, then hey the KDX or an XR will do the job. If you think you may get into it and really learn how to ride again, then get something else. In all fairness, you most likely will find out that your memory of your previous riding ability exceeds what it actually was. Most of us re-entry 30 or 40-something riders find out this is the case, me included. Unless you were a competitive B class or better racer in the mid-80s, you are going to have to learn how to ride the modern bikes from scratch. Best of luck, [/QUOTE]
