New KDX rider from South Africa
Posted: 12:06 am Jun 07 2018
Hi guys/girls.
I recently got a 2005 KDX 200 for a steal. Fully kitted and dressed for enduro riding.
I've been on road bikes for half of my life and recently made the transition to off road in the form of a old YZ125 I took on as a project. Fully rebuilt the YZ, tried to make it something it just wasn't and all that ended in failure.
This time around I decided to get a bike built for the task of what I intend to use it for which is strictly funduro's and bush riding here in SA.
Has just taken it out for one short ride, as just after I got it I got really sick. Booked off from work for a few days, reason I found this forum.
Well, all I can say regarding the KDX is it is my dream bike (never knew). Perfect for my type of riding. The KDX makes me a lot less stressed out than the 125 as I finally have the torque to not have to rev the snot out of it when it comes to sand riding. The KDX just cruises through the sand without a problem and it is so much more comfortable and stable.
I'll be starting a new thread with a few pictures of my new baby
