Hi from pa ! new to me 220

Post by Bill1977 »

Just picked this up over the weekend. 2001 KDX 220. This is the most fun I have had riding on a dirtbike in a while. I think it is the best bike I have ever ridden in the woods. I need to get a headlight and a few other odds and ends but had a nice ride on it over the weekend. I am going on 40 and have been riding since I was probably 7 years old. I have rode and owned several bikes but they were all race bikes. This is the first trail bike I have owned and it works great for just following the wife around on her quad. It was hard to do that on my last bike a yz426f. It wanted to overheat going slow. This bike doesnt seem to mind lugging around and it still has a decent amount of low end power for playing.
