Anyone know which issue of dirt rider the h series 200 was tested? I'm going to order it from ebay if I can find it.

I can't answer your question specifically, but just did a Google search on KAWASAKI KDX 200 220 TEST, and found lots of interesting reading. I would think this would give you the information you are looking for.

Tried that as well, but couldn't pin down which was a full test and which were just one page - style recaps. Id like the full test with dyno like dirt rider used to do. I'd like to nail it down before I spend $20 on an old magazine lol.

post up which issue it is when you find out, I wouldn't mind looking it up online and reading it

Dirt Bike Nov 1994, did a test on the 1995 kdx 200 h series .

I just ordered the nov 94 issue! I'll post high res photos of the test when it gets here. We'll finally know for certain the weight and hp numbers in a few days!

can't wait for the official numbers

Spoiler:

Dirt Bike Sept, 1996 Lightweight enduro shootout KDX200, running weight without fuel 233lbs.
Dirt Bike March, 1997 Giant enduro shootout special KDX220, running weight no fuel 235lbs.

Don't cha hate spoilers? Lol. No, that's fine. I'm way more interested in seeing a hp/torque chart than anything else. Unless dirt rider wasn't doing dyno runs by then. If that's the case I just wasted ten bucks lol. I know it has about 28 horsepower but I'd like numbers throughout the curve. It feels like it has a whole lot of torque so that number has me curious as well.

Got the mag in today and no dyno chart. Boo! Only a two page quick test that happened to mention a 238 pound wet weight with no gas. Dirt rider sucks without the tech specs they used to have in the 80's. Well, $10 wasted lol. Still cool to look at old mags though.

Here's the article, useless as it is:

Thanks for the scans!!

I love the 95 KX/KDX graphics :)

Cool, Thanks man!

It would've ruled if it had tech specs and a dyno run. That was the only reason I EVER read dirt rider. It sucks if you are looking for informative reviews, as this example shows.

There's an e series dyno chart in this series of posts that should be close to the h series in power. That's as close as we're going to get I suppose.

Thanks for posting that link, I missed it when you originally posted it. I had an '89 250WR with a Pro-Circuit engine back in '92. It was super fast for it's day.
