First real ride on my 1996 KDX 200

Post by Robbie »

First ride on my KDX 200. Loved every second. I own a 1995 Suzuki DR 350 and love it. The KDX 200 was a real great feeling bike in both power and handling. So pleased of my find.

I'm new to the Kdx as well, and I'm still impressed with how much power these little bikes have. Most people love the torque, but the top end pull is what I'm most pleased with. It's been years since I've owned a bike, but my 02 200 is the best bike I've ridden. Power everywhere I need it. I just wish it was 20 pounds lighter.

try eating a little less :lol:

the KDX is great
I rode with 5 other guys yesterday, one yellow and 4 orange bikes, the KDX did great and impressed everyone, especially once they found out I only got about 1100 bucks into it

Cheeseburgers are way too delicious for me to lose any weight, friend.

When I met my wife I was 155 pounds; I am now a not-too-svelt 220 pounds. I've lost 7 pounds in the past two weeks just by riding my bike during the day though, and its giving me some needed exercise.
