Great vid
Been a long time 2 stroke fan having owned/raced a few but added a few 4 strokes now, I enjoy project bikes to restore.
After getting to crash a friends kdx way back when, seeing the you tube vid of the kdx being ridden in Torture Test Magaine it got the fire started..
Been watching the sweet kdx restoration vids, now that I’m looking there isn’t a kdx for sale close to home lol!
This one almost near me was sold just as I started looking

That’s a good running 220. What did it sell for?
Are you out in Ca?

Re: Great vid
That was one of the videos that steered me towards getting a KDX instead of a Beta 300RR I'd been wanting for several years. I also purchased the Torture Test article related to the video, which is a good read and has some good info. He really shows what a KDX is capable of and how reliable it is, and that I don't "need" a 300RR since I will never max out the full capabilities of my KDX.
In the other vid, I was hoping that dude was going to do a stoppie in the middle of the road after his little wheelie.

Re: Great vid
Get one and do a frame up rebuild on it. That's what I did with my 2000 KDX220 and I know its like a brand new bike and I still have less in it than a used KTM. I would take a KDX200 or KDX220 over a KTM anyway. I recently bought a 1996 KDX200 I am going to do a frame up rebuild on too.
Its well worth the money to fix these bikes up.

Re: Great vid
I think these bikes are Work horses seeing them all over getting built & rebuilt raced trail ridden by quite a few. Amazing underdog of a machine compared to newer expensive orange machines. Looking forward to the smell of castor premix & this vid represents these bikes pretty welljavjacob wrote: ↑03:21 pm Jun 16 2019 Get one and do a frame up rebuild on it.

That "KDX files - back from the dead" video is probably the best KDX video on youtube.

Re: Great vid
Gotta admit watching these vids made me question whatever I saw in purchasing a klx250s. The kdx bikes are so much lighter & faster, better handling everywhere, that last vid is a great representation of its off road capabilities.. good rider for sure
