Back around 2004, there was a kid at the dealership I worked at...who raced a modified KDX200 in the 200+ C and Open C classes. You know what, he did alright. He was a big kid who didn't have much $ and he rode the wheels off it.

The KDX somehow got a reputaion of being nust a trail bike. With an exhaust and set suspension you can go as fast on that thing as just about most people can.

Sick machine you've built. Awesome beating guys on their fresh 4 strokes with "dated" two strokes

I always wanted one of those when i was a kid. In fact I took a job shoveling horse and cow shit for $20 a day to buy one. I got a '95kx125 instead.

Very nice work, I like it. I will show this to my brother to try to inspire him to do something with his 95 KDX200.

Wow, you made that thing look modern! I'm not a big fan of the KDX but you surely did it justice. Nice work and classy upgrades.
