well i was acutally gonna get a road bike but my dads wants me to get a car first... i dont know why :roll: . then he said we will talk about it. I would like to use the xl in town but not often. I will be using it for light trail riding with my freinds and i was gonna use it in the winter. i was gonna save my kdx for racing and fast pace trail riding. The xl only has 1500 miles on it which is very low for a 87.

My bad. For $400, if it cranks and runs, then you should have already bought it. Sell some of your dad's stuff and get on with it. :lol:

KDX220Phil, they went from old Honda Red and orange to red, white and blue in 1986. I thought 1987 was that color, also. I can't remember what color they were after that. I remember a Dirt Bike 1986 test of the Honda XR200R, and I thought it looked nice. I am glad I got a KDX200, though!! :supz:

I had an XR200R as well, 84 or 85, dual carbs, weighed a ton, it sucked as well but was alright for me when i was 13. I would have traded it for a KX80 instantly.
Yeah I love my KDX too, this summer has been a lot of fun, too bad the season is almost over for us Nova Scotian's though, I reckon' my bike will be totally different come spring and it may even have an older half-brother too :supz: .

That's cool to know. :cool:

I THINK 1986 is when they ditched the "XR200 = play bike and XR200R is competitive bike" idea. They went with "just" an XR200(R) (whichever one it was). Whatever the name was, I am glad I got an '87 KDX200 instead of a Honda XR200(R). :prayer:

Good luck on your KX shopping! :supz:

Thanks Jason, I hope it doesn't take me too long, but I am a little stubborn and always wanting to find a good deal, not just something that is "worth it". Aren't we all?
For example, My KDX, brand new I payed $5000.00 CDN (MSRP 5799 yet dealers were listing for 5999.) and my dealer gave me a new CLX-4 helmet. I played every dealer in the maritimes against each other until I found the cheapest one :lol: . I found this place that was a new dealership and had not built their show room yet, they wanted to sell as many bikes as possible to get their name out, and higher sales= better show room, even if it mean making only $10.
I lucked in for sure, I have told you guys before though, this place was one of the convincing factors, so much good info and you guys described the KDX as the bike I was looking for, the other place had little/no effect.
Watch out, these guys will brain wash ya :rolleyes: . I even dream green now.
