    As long as its quick enough for you... its quick enough

    These guys are just poking fun at you because you want to go motard racing on it... you'll get run over if you do, its like telling them you'll run a 12 at the drags on it, Im sure they have good intentions [?].

    It's fast enough to kill you, thats fast

    if you recon a dr200 is fast you had better stay off YZF`s CRF-R`s RMZ`s KXF`s And any husabeg VOR or Tm you`d probably get piss in the air box and that would be a waist
    And what waist of a RM frame no matter what way you look at it 2 valve four strokes lack power unless they have a good carby and a h comp piston
    anything above 9.5:1-an thas pitty rare

    I used to ride my XR200 on the dirt track,sometimes we'd have up to 8 XR200s racing at a time (all the young guys had an XR200 back then) it was a shit load of fun...pushing these things at 110%,there was absolutly nothing between the bikes,the only way to pass another bike was to just run them off the track.Dunno - maybe I'm wierd...but riding something that hard is way more fun than a bike that you have to control the throttle on so you don't loop,spin out or otherwise spear off into the bushes.

    lol definitely fun... my second bike was a 82 xr200, and you can easily ride above the bikes ability in almost any situation.. twist the throttle and go!

    I disagree aslong as you know how to ride a kdx might have just as much ability to be canned beyond the bikes capability

    If you time things right you can jump straight from a prolonged first childhood straight into an early second childhood, and you never have to be a boring mature adult. Highly recommended. Adults are no fun.
