[QUOTE="NM_KDX200, post: 961570, member: 38052"] The way I worded it up above might give the impression that the KDX felt sluggish- not the case at all. What I was surprised at was that the XR didn't feel worse that it did. It was actually kind of rideable. I don't think I was pushing it as hard as I push my KDX, though. I remember when I had my XR and was trying to keep up with my buddy's XR600 that I would have a lot of trouble stopping for corners. When I got the YZ250WR, I didn't have that problem anymore and was able to easily keep up with the 600, nor do I have it on the KDX. The KDX can stop on a dime, if you ask it. Today, I rode that same XR on our local MX track, a fairly smooth track with some jumps, but no real whoops or really rough sections. Again, it did pretty good, although I sure bottomed the forks (stock springs!!!) good and hard! But, as I showed the owner, the XR is really good at taking a tight inside line. Since wheel spin isn't much of an issue, it can take a tight inside line and the low rpm grunt gets it thru the corner pretty well. I very surprised at how much distance I got on the tabletops- I cleared all the little ones and got the front over the medium sized ones. The owner commented on how it looked like I was definitely riding a bigger, heavier bike (I had the KX at the track). I was not getting it leaned over nearly as much as the KX. Still, for a mini-diesel pig, it was fun. A guy wouldn't be the fastest thing on the track, but he could definitely enjoy himself on the XR. Getting back on the KX was like going from a butter knife to a razor blade, though! [/QUOTE]
