Mine too but it won't stay that color long

I'll start with a Kawi green front fender


As much as I'd like a 300 I'll probably get a 450 or 525 dualsported
Pumpkins come with a title. In NY the only way you can register one is to register it as a "Motorcycle" and with any other dirt bike you can only register them as an "ATV" so you could "dualsport" a 300 also. They are a little slow for the road though.

Never for me. I've watched my buddies struggle to get those pigs to the end of the trail too many times.

200/300 2t, that's the sweet spot. While I'd like to have a nice DS, it won't be able to replace the trail bike.

The 450 , 525 (now 530's) are the only ones that come from the factory, street legal

Many people have plated the 300's here but they who knows how long the gov. is gonna let that go on

I've seen those pigs go places a KDX would never dream of going :prayer:

We tried to get Jerry to go up this on his KX

It's loose, steep and does a hairpin turn so you cant get a run at it. It's one of the scariest downhills for me, I won't ride the last 50 yards, I always bulldog it.

Jerry tried it a couple times and made it about 10'

Me and Brad watched some 16 year old kid on a 525 walk up that thing like it was nothing

In addition to Miss KDX I ride a 300 KTM, 450 EXC dual sport, and a 650 Honda. The KDX will perform any off-road task, climb any hill the other bikes can.

The KDX has place in my quiver of bikes because she does one thing really well. Tight-Ass-Technical Woods Riding. When I'm using the KDX as it was intended to be used it never gets out of third gear.

I've cut 2 inches off the bars to squeeze between trees, geared it down, added a trials tire, armoured it up and use an auto clutch.

If I grab a handful on my 300 it goes, sometimes not as intended in the woods.
220... she's a kitten!

My 450 weighs 260lbs, the six fifty is a desert only beast.

And I don't care what the heck they say, the KDX power band is waaay sweeter than a 200 Katoom!

Oh yeah, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor (with KDX airplanes). :razz:

Glad you caught my joke from Animal House. I was starting to feel ignored. :(

Come on out any time

I'll show you plenty of places our KDX's will never go, well unless a Fredette class rider is in the saddle :wink:

Are we saying that the orange bikes can make a crappy rider climb steep hills, but the KDX needs a A class rider to do the same?

Are we saying the statement "95% rider 5% bike" is BS?

Man I hope not... I'd hate to have been wrong all these years. :rolleyes:

When mine dies and if I can't find parts... that's when i will either be too old to ride anymore or look around at what is available. Til then....
Wow. Maybe we can take some solace in the fact he was living for the future.
