Is the KMX 200 the exact same bike as the KDX 200 with the street legal equipment attached?

I saw a KMX once on D-bay about a year ago. It was a nice looking bike. It looked just like a KDX. The guy selling it said, that he had ordered it somehow from Kawasaki, and had it delivered to a dealer here in the states. He claimed all the parts were the same, but the street legal eqipment had to be ordered from Kawasaki. I'm not sure but I think it was a 1999. Hope this helps.

KMX 200 vs KDX200
The KMX was available here in the UK from around 1985-1992..they made a 125cc & 200cc ( the 200 was prone to piston trouble ) both cracking bikes in their day & quite nippy too...the 125 was popular with young 17 year olds who could ride them on a `learner licence` the 125 had a fully working power valve which at the time was rare as most 125s with power valves had them removed or blanked off because of the UK learner laws restrictions would only allow you to ride a motorcycle of up to 125cc on a restricted licence & up to 12bhp...the 200 never really sold that well as most people who passed their bike `test` went out & purchased a 250 or larger. Both bikes were a new style of `trail` bike & more user friendly as we never had the SR kdx as a official Kawasaki UK available bike.

KMX 200 vs KDX200
Believe it or not I had one here in Howland Ohio.
Didnt buy it cuz of fear of not finding any parts but its almost IDENTICAL to the KDX. IDENTICAL
In fact it caused a fist fight between bro and me stating he was gonna buy a kmx or whatever in better shape then my kdx. ( it took three years to find a decent one and it was still a complete wreck.)
Bro spotted it at a garage sale and I went and checked it out later. Didnt know much about it at the time and searched for info. Bike was setup for the area for sure and ran crisp. Air cooled if I remember correct. By the time I went to go look or inquire about it again. The couple had moved.
Very nice bike and I did ride it at the time. If I would of known better then I would of bought the bike. It was SOOO plush for the front forks its not funny. Thought atleast if I bought new and rebuilt mine it would be better. However I would compare it to a Suzuki or Honda fork setup with a kdx style engine. In fact the performance of bike was the same or perhaps better. If anything different it felt like you were lower towards engine and cradled.
I had pictures on my old phone and went with a new carrier and phone since but yea the guy only wanted 700 or best offer for it too. Looked like the all white kdx here with the blue seat cept it was with red.
Only thing that set me off about it was that it looked more of a street bike perhaps. Had a different wiring setup and aftermarket battery. Perhaps installed later or replaced. Then again a KDX with a baja setup at one time would look the same.
Nice bikes tho. I liked it but if you ever tell me its better then my kdx we will get into a fist fight. HAHAHAHAA

If you cant fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

KMX 200 vs KDX200
Here in France, we only have a few copies of KMX 200 and was imported by the network Kawasaki (unlike KDX 200 E series) , that has not been the success of the 125 with which it shares the same engine down, except clutch springs who are bigger on the 200, this is one with the french street legal
i'm French and I don't speak English very well, so, please, excuse me :)
