What's up fellas from San Antonio, Tx.
Posted: 05:36 pm May 03 2010
I've wanted a KDX200 for a long time.
I've ridden since I was 7, I'm 45 now.
I've been on mainly Honda Z50's to CT70's.
I own a PW80 [wifes ride] Honda NSR50R & 3 Honda Z50's & a DR350SE.
I ride with a couple of adults who enjoy the novelty & nostalgia of kids bikes. I know of a guy who rode a CT70 to Sturgis from LOUISIANA this year.
My $fun$ budget is a concern cause I also maintain a small lake boat.
I'm a security guard by occupation for now & enjoy all the monetary benefits & elite status that comes with it.
This is what I know of the bike I'm considering purchasing:
99 KDX220, FMF pipe, runs but locked in 6th gear for $275 obo.
Sounds to me like a possible owner repair gone bad?
I have the skill to rebuild but just need some advice on the possible cause of the problem.
The utility, value & underdog status of the KDX's appeal to me.
I'm not very trendy & this is plenty of bike for my skill level.
This would be my first time going green.
Thanks,
Oscar in San Antonio
If anyone wants to get together & ride in my area [minis or DR350] let me know.
