The 450 , 525 (now 530's) are the only ones that come from the factory, street legal
Many people have plated the 300's here but they who knows how long the gov. is gonna let that go on

I've seen those pigs go places a KDX would never dream of going

We tried to get Jerry to go up this on his KX
It's loose, steep and does a hairpin turn so you cant get a run at it. It's one of the scariest downhills for me, I won't ride the last 50 yards, I always bulldog it.
Jerry tried it a couple times and made it about 10'
Me and Brad watched some 16 year old kid on a 525 walk up that thing like it was nothing

In addition to Miss KDX I ride a 300 KTM, 450 EXC dual sport, and a 650 Honda. The KDX will perform any off-road task, climb any hill the other bikes can.
The KDX has place in my quiver of bikes because she does one thing really well. Tight-Ass-Technical Woods Riding. When I'm using the KDX as it was intended to be used it never gets out of third gear.
I've cut 2 inches off the bars to squeeze between trees, geared it down, added a trials tire, armoured it up and use an auto clutch.
If I grab a handful on my 300 it goes, sometimes not as intended in the woods.
220... she's a kitten!
My 450 weighs 260lbs, the six fifty is a desert only beast.
And I don't care what the heck they say, the KDX power band is waaay sweeter than a 200 Katoom!
Oh yeah, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor (with KDX airplanes).

Are we saying that the orange bikes can make a crappy rider climb steep hills, but the KDX needs a A class rider to do the same?
Are we saying the statement "95% rider 5% bike" is BS?
Man I hope not... I'd hate to have been wrong all these years.

Wow. Maybe we can take some solace in the fact he was living for the future.Indawoods wrote:I don't see a need to look elsewhere other than the KDX. But that's me and why I started KDXRIDER to begin with.
When mine dies and if I can't find parts... that's when i will either be too old to ride anymore or look around at what is available. Til then....
