What year of KDX from the 80's is the best one to get and what is a reasonable price to pay? I'm thinking of spending in the 1000-1500$ range and would like to find the best year of that period. By best i mean most reliable, easiest to maintain and most common (spare parts). Anyone that could let me know it would be much appreciated. I just recently started riding off road when a buddy gave me his 1982 Yamaha YZ 80 which I had to rebuild, and as I am 6'2 it's a little on the small side for me to seriously ride off road. The KDX has been presented to me as the best all around O.R bike out there hence why I'm trying to find one.
