Don't seem all that heavy to me! :hmm: :wink:
253 lbs BTW . . .

and I thought the one I fondled at the dealer was a bit hefty.

Very cool-looking bike . . . but my 220 is cooler!!

I thought the choke lever was mounted on the handlebar? Or maybe I was sniffing glue when I read that??

Vince, your link goes to the KX450F; the KLX450R dry weight is listed as 253.5lbs...

Hasn't Jeff Fredette given up riding the KDX in favor of the KLX?

Rumor has it. If he wants to retain any support from Kawi he'll have to do just that! :roll:

I checked out that link and viewed the photos. That's one cool looking brake light. I wonder if that rear fender can be made to work on a KDX?

That and adapting the front headlight to work on a KDX as well. :supz: When I was looking for a KX250 I wanted to street legal it as well and wanted to put the KLX stuff on, those headlights are scweet looking!
