Well as a long term pre 94 KDX owner I recently bought a 98 vintage 200 with Gnarly pipe and airbox mod. The bike is in really good condition and runs 13/47 gearing.
I must say now that its been a very big let down. The bike feels horribly over geared and tops out at 60mph. It wants to wheelie off the throttle in the first 3 gears but the power is very 'switch like'. The low end power feels fine when going up the rev range but when the bike drops out of the power its really had to get it back without shifting two gears. :ugg:
Coming from a 250 Gasgas it just plain annoys me, it fact the bike is driving me mad enough to sell the thing asap. Its just like owning a 125 again.
Any ideas?
