they made a 250, but not in 96. At least not in the states. I think 94 would have been the last year. Good engine, based off kx250. Poor suspension. There are a few kdx250 riders here, someone will chime in. They make a good bike with some work.

They never received quite the rave reviews that the 200's and 220's did, though. The 250's were much heavier.
I spent some time on one (forgot the year, but it had USD forks) and I liked my 200 much better.

No, there was no KDX 250 in 96. 1994 was the last year for them everywhere as far as I know, maybe the seller got the year wrong. I've got one myself and like it a lot, I've spent a bit of time and a little bit of money setting it up but you need to do that for a lot of bikes. It is a fair bit heavier than a 200 but I don't have any problem going anywhere I want to go with it, the extra power is certainly nice. Post some pictures if you can and we'll tell you what it is.

The KDX250 was only made from 91-94. The seller either listed the year or the engine size wrong. Best bet is to post a picture of it. Someone will be able to identify exactly what it is. I have seen a lot of KDX's listed as 250cc. I think some people just assume that it is a 250cc because it is a common size? This is what a 91-94 KDX250 looks like.
