Message: [QUOTE="chris kuba, post: 948917, member: 42814"] OK, I'll throw my 2 cents in. I have read posts on this site from guys who have tracked their speed with a GPS unit and said they were running at about 70mph flat out. These guys were out west where you can do that I guess. I think they also had the "useual" mods on their bikes, pipe/silencer, piston, reeds, no airbox lid, and probably sprocket changes. All of which I have but set up for the rocks and hills and tight woods of PA. My '99 KDX 200 is as fast as any 2 stroke 125 and is far more manageable in tricky situations where you have to overrev a 125 too much. KTM has a 2 stroke 200 that is much stronger than the KDX from the factory and will eat most of the new 4 stroke 250 MX bikes. My KDX destroys all of the old style 4 strokes like the XR and DR's and easily keeps up to bigger bikes in the stuff I ride in. All in all I think the KDX will always get beat by the 250 in any drag race and isn't the fastest thing around but that's not what it was built for. Besides that there's a million things you can do to a KDX like a 225cc kit which I hear is really sweet in the power department. [/QUOTE]
