I like 2 strokes because they feel like turbo lol. Also I have read that the kdx is a 2stroke w/ good low range and mid range for trail riding and can hold its own on an MX track.Originally posted by W.P.EXC
I agree the kdx is a really good bike to get started on or to get back into riding on. Coleman, did you see the amount of money he has to spend? Finding a ktm 200 for $1500 is not gonna be easy ( maybe a early 90's KTM 250). For that little amount of money I don't think you can be to picky. I wouldn't totally rule out a moto bike just cuz your not riding track. I would rule it out if you had more money to spend though. You might look at some of the smaller four strokes like the XR, DR, etc. I know you want a two stroke cuz they are louder right? Maybe check out the old IT 200 or the older WR's, or the RMX. How about a PE 175!

Just wondering though, is a 200kdx faster than a 125MX if you were racing in a straight line? If I have 1500 to spend what year KDX should I look for? When do kdx's need to be rebuilt(how many hours usually?)?
How much do you weigh and how tall are you?Originally posted by VinnyTAMU
If your are deciding between a 125 MX and a 250 MX for a beginner go with the 250. My first bike is a KX 250 and I absolutly love it. I wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it over again. However I can't really recommend a beginner getting a 125 or a 250 because they can be very dangerous. Also keep in mind that Usually when you buy a used bike you almost always end up putting in about 200 to 400 dollars right off the bat. My advice get the KDX 200.
Hope this helps
