2006 Kawasaki KDX200 Motorcycle reviews

It is beyond me why any person would ever want a 4-stroke bike when you could have a KDX instead. I have no idea why Kawaskai didn't keep making these wonderful, spirited trail bikes. This four-year-old machine has the lug-ability for tight trails and the motocross rocket-type power in the mid-range for fire road bombing. I've had several bikes - YZ80, YZ125, and an XR600 - and this 2006 KDX blows them all away in stock form. Show less

I just purchased this bike as a left over for half the price of a KLX450. I rode a KX250 modified for woods riding for years, but I enjoy the KDX much more. It starts easily, does not foul plugs and is very quiet. It has a great handling chassis for woods riding and rock gardens. I just wish it had a little more low end to pull the wheel off the ground more easily. My 250 definitely has more power, but this bike is nearly as quick in acceleration. Overall, this is a great bike and very reliable. Show less

This bike hauls, I went riding with a buddy that has a Suzuki rm250, he never left me behind (stock). This bike rides like a motocross. In the first three, sometimes four gears, it stands right up, you have to lean forward just to keep the front end down and get some speed. This thing is bad to the bone. Get one, you won't be disappointed. Show less

I've just recently purchased this bike after years of mx bike riding in the woods. I couldn't seem to find exactly what I wanted, 125s are fast but have no low-end, 250s have too much low end for the tight stuff. I believe this bike may just be the ticket; it has great pull off the bottom and a fast top end that could be a little better with a pipe and silencer. The hit from bottom to top is smooth, giving you the confidence to really lay into tight stuff without worry of too much wheel spin, to hard-hitting power, launching you into a non-moving tree. In the open, the six speed transmission really opens up to an impressive top end that could even be better with the pipe/ silencer change and, I'm told, removing the snorkel on the breather box to open her up and let it breath free This bike inspires confidence from beginner to old fart like me. The down sides are the bike is a little tall the front forks, they soak up everything but need to be slowed down a bit on rebound which can only be done with a heavier fork oil (no rebound adjustment). The stock chain should be discarded after break in as it stretches like rope. Kawasaki should have giving it the o-ring chain the 220r has. Overall a perfect bike for those riding in the tight wood to wide-open spaces Show less
