Should I, or shouldn't I? (I did)
Posted: 10:04 am Nov 06 2009
I have become quite smitten with this KDX. My 2 bikes before the KDX were a 07 RM125, and a 07 KLX 250s. I liked the speed, and lightness of the RM, the smooth, and fun of the KLX, and spent most of the season on the KLX.
The KDX is both. What an awesome bike!
Since I plan to run hare scrambles, and only the all natural motocross tracks (old school mx) on my club's schedule, I may park my MX bike, and use the KDX instead.
So here is the question. I bought the 2000, 220 because it was street plated, something you can no longer do here. The bike is good, but well used. I want something nicer, and newer, and have found a 05, 220 with pipe, reeds, and Wiseco piston already for only a little more that what I paid for the 00 bike. It is not plate-able, but with very little work, would be the all purpose offroad bike I really want.
Since the 00 bike wasn't very good on the road, I was thinking of buying the 05 bike, and selling the 00. The plate would be nice to have, but I can keep the KLX for street riding.
Thoughts? I think I already know the answer, but typing it out has been therapeutic.
