Just bought my 27th (I think) MC and first KDX, a 2001 220R.

Got back into dirt riding a few years back on an old '73 Suze TS185, then a '75 Honda Elsinore, followed by a great '95 XR250 (great bike but too tall and too heavy). I'm about 5'9", 155lbs so experimented with an '09 CRF150RB as a trail bike but whike ai like the low seat and it has lots of power, it is fundamentally too small for good standing on the pegs.

Rode for the first time yesterday and it's a keeper for sure but waaaay too tall in the seat. I'll be following the forum threads on lowering and other suspension mods to get it to my like but so far I'm tickled. Great riding in this part of the country between access to the hatfield-McCoy system, the new Virginia Spearhead trails and the USFS trails at Pedlar and Taskers Gap. Looking for riding pals....
