The KDX 200 is one of the best trail bikes ever. The gearing is more than good in the woods, the engine is really powerful and it has very plush suspension (I am only 135 lbs. and it feels soft). I am only 14 so it is hard for me to touch the ground, but the bike is so light that I can hold it up easily. Mine...

I am only 14 so it is hard for me to touch the ground, but the bike is so light that I can hold it up easily. Mine is anything but stock. It is a really fast bike with the 6 speed.

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...

But don't let that fool you, this thing hits the jumps and launches you with the best of them. Great looks, great performance, and generations of reliability. What more can you ask for. Oh, and at the price, this bike is the total deal!

I got this bike 4 weeks ago. I had an older 125 and was just not satisfied with the mileage and bottom end. But when I got my hands on a KDX 200 I could not complain. This bike has great bottom end power. I rode on the MX track at my local off road vehicle (ORV) park and was surprised with the suspension. I thought that it was going to be like the other XR suspension but it is closer to a MX bike. I rode for almost 80 miles on a tank and still had a .9-gallon reserve (stock tank). I would recommend this bike to anybody into trails or hills.

Hello, I'm 50 yrs old and have moved up to the new bikes, and have they changed. The KDX is like riding a boat compared to some of the vintage bikes. Anyway. I love woods riding and think I have found a perfect woods bike. Very easy to ride, user friendly. I going to add a FmF Gnarly Woods Pipe for more torque and less weight, Also I'll use the stock muffler for National Forest Quietness. Some MSR radiator guards, skid plate, Enduro Engineering bark busters and she should be ready for anything. Not that it isn't right from the bike shop. I'm having fun with it riding trails and woods poker runs. Also raced this past year in a hare scramble. I love the bike for itself, and price also had something to do with it. I almost opted for the Ktm Exc 200, Whew--what a price. Maybe if I was younger. Anyway, I'm hoping to keep the KDX for alot of years. I would love to still be riding trails at 60. If your looking for a great trail bike this is it. Happy trail ridin.

Let me start by saying this may be the last dirt bike i will own until Kawasaki updates it. Then I will not think twice before purchasing the updating one. And they may take a while. Funny thing is, I don't know what to upgrade on it. The power is amazing, even down-low. I have only had one instance of trouble when I rode at Gorman. I was on the back-bone trail which was onyl intermediate. The First rather steep hill required a bit more torque than my KDX could put out. The steepness wasnt the problem, it was the very, very, very sandy conditions, I mean "dunes" sandy. Other than that one hill, I am confidant enough to climb nearly any hill at Gorman. On hard-packed dirt, I would choose this bike over any 250. I believe it is perfect if you dont wan't a 250, and a 125 just doesn't do it for you. The suspension is, in my opinion, the greatest part of this bike. I go off 6 and 7 foot high flat-land jumps and land like i just rode off of a sidewalk. This is easily my most preferred dirt bike of the three that I own. The others being a KLR 250 and a Katana 600
