Message: [QUOTE="NM_KDX200, post: 949180, member: 38052"] Well, let's see....I just bought a KX125 and have a slightly modded KDX200. Riding them both, I find that: KX125- lighter, quicker (from point A to point B when it's a short distance), much pipier, and much less tractable, handles over-jumping better, MUCH more sensitive to throttle in the air. KDX200- more power from bottom to about 2/3, wheelies better and easier, no slouch in point A to point B acceleration, comes out of the corners a little better but then loses to the KX, much more forgiving of throttle control. When I first rode the KX on my track, I got arm pump really fast and lasted only about 5 laps before I had to stop and relax. I never get arm pump on the KDX and can go 20 minutes easy. Surprisingly, I didn't automatically over-jump everything on the KX like I thought I would (like I used to do on my YZ250WR), although it would certainly be possible if I wanted to. Bottom line for me is that if I could have just 1, it would be the KDX for sure. It is PLENTY exciting when I open it up, esp. with the Rev pipe. My KDX has modified suspension, FMF Rev pipe (and I have a K-35, too), ISDE silencer, and lowered gearing. The KX has modified suspension, Pro Circuit pipe, Pro Circuit shorty silencer, VF-II reed cage. [/QUOTE]
