If you want the most versatile bike for the buck, this is it. It powers like a big four stroke, but has the light weight and handling of a two stroke. There are many aftermarket parts and different hop ups to make it good at anything from MX to XC. It's easy to maintain, easy to upgrade, easy to start, and...

You can't say all that about any other bike in it's price range...

Similar to some of your other readers' opinion, the KDX offers unbelievable riding pleasure. I too have the full pro circuit pipe, although the FMF option offers similar improved performance. Also, reed valve kits add to this. The suspension does need to be adjusted to suite siding styles, but even as standard, it is adequite. The bike is light and very manoeuvrable in tight corners, something the four strokes are not. The engine has good low down power and is a far easier ride than any moto cross alternative. The engine runs smooth and the gearbox has great power delivery. All in all, it is a great enduro machine!

I recently purchased a low hour 1990 Kawasaki KDX 200 from a buddy of mine. I am totaly happy with the bike. Is there a better 2 stoke trail bike made? Me thinks not.

This thing has more torque than some of Caterpillars offerings. Myself, I weigh in at a svelte 200 lbs. and the KDX pulls me like a donkey on speed. Tossable, launchable, with monster truck grunt, perfect for the hills.

Its THE best bike ive ever trail ridden, its light its fast (suprisingly) and nimble. My buddy has the 220r both have the procircut pipe and silencer (m...

Let me start by saying Ive owned many bikes. Hondas, yamahaws , even the suzukis. The others build good race bikes, but, for the trails the kdx cant be beat. Its THE best bike ive ever trail ridden, its light its fast (suprisingly) and nimble. My buddy has the 220r both have the procircut pipe and silencer (made a world of difference in the bike) and for the money there is no noticable difference. I mean the bikes are that close. I strongly recommend this bike to trail riders ... with some stiffening of the suspension, they make great gncc racers. As far as motocross , thats debateable. But i hope my review has enlightened you on the kdx . thanks

The KDX 200 is an excellent beginner to intermediate rider bike. It handles well in tight sections, can climb anything easily. Smooth with no vibration! Needs stiffer suspension for fast whoops, stock front tire will kill you in sand. Lock tite or lock washer kick stand when new. Bike with stock pipe is as fun as with aftermarket. Very dependable and top end last much longer than most. I have owned several and ridden all of them a few thousand miles each with no problem. Change the rear brake fluid to DOT4 and keep it fresh. Upgrade Handlebars and chain upon receipt. Great re-sell bike also. Many people could go faster on KDX 200s than they can on overpowered, hard to start heavier models. They are a blast but you will need to stiffen suspension if you ride whoops. It will pitch you sideways more than bikes with better suspension. You have to fan the clutch and work the gears some, but the clutch is bulletproof if you change oil often. Stock chain, Bars and Front tire should be trashed upon receipt.
