seems to me that a lower bike makes a world of difference. the ttr is much lower and seems much lighter than 20 lb, maybe it's because of a lower center of gravity.

Yep, lower center of gravity and the 20lbs lighter add up to feel considerably lighter than the KDX.scheckaet wrote:seems to me that a lower bike makes a world of difference. the ttr is much lower and seems much lighter than 20 lb, maybe it's because of a lower center of gravity.

TTR 125 L: 172 lb dry
KDX 200: 222 lb dry
That's a 50 lb difference
In the wood I'd take the ttr (especially one with yz front end and uncorked ) over the kx.

I don't know where that dry weight number came from but that looks low to me. I'd bet that a TT-R125 ready to ride is going to crowd 200 lbs. May even go a little over 200 lbs. That's still going to be 20+ lbs light than a KDX but a TT-R125 is not going to have much power. I have a TT-R230 and it doesn't have much power.scheckaet wrote:TTR 125 L: 172 lb dry

Not me! My son's TTR was uncorked (airbox, screen, and exhaust mods and re-jetted) it was a lot healthier than a stocker but still no where close to my worn out KDX! Plus, even with the YZ forks, the TTR rear shock sucks! It has horrible dampening and very limited travel. I guess if I was just putting around it would be OK but even then I would rather be on the KDX as it is more comfortable.scheckaet wrote:In the wood I'd take the ttr (especially one with yz front end and uncorked ) over the kx.

The TTR's weight will go up, yes, but so will the KDX's. Also, the KDX hold almost three times the fuel!David_L6 wrote:I don't know where that dry weight number came from but that looks low to me.

I'm with you all, I would ride a kdx over a ttr anytime of day, however we are talking about kdx butterfly here. She mentioned the weight of a her kdx being too much and that's the reason I mentioned the ttr (+ the fact she already got 1).
On top of that, the seat height is much lower on the ttr vs kx, that makes the ttr imo easier to manage and ride in difficult conditions (like mud)
I don't think any lighter/smaller bike will be as good in the wood (engine wise especially) as the kdx. the perfect weapon would be to stuff a 200 in a a KX 100 frame but we all know that ain't gonna happen
To me THAT would be the perfect bike for a smaller person.
