Or just buy a kdx200 which will redefine 'anywhere '
Then sell it and buy a gasgas200
Then sell it and etc..
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I loved my KDX[Dangerous has it now] but stalling on the side of a hill or in a bog and those of us with more modest vertical proportions were well f@#kd!

I had a KDX 250SR, it was a bit rabid for the gnadgery. Used to spit me off at every opportunity.
Sold it to a bloke who thought it would be ideal for his teenage son who looped it at high speed on his first ride and smashed it to bits.

The 200s were based on the KX125. The 250 was a generation or two behind.

Never had the pleasure of a 200, they do seem to be a very capable trail / enduro bike. And most importantly manageable.
Probably missed my chance now. Hens teeth and all that.
My Dad in the UK has a KDX200SR, road legal Japan only model, as was my 250SR. He's past trail riding but does enjoy a good squirt on his 2t!
Mine was missing a few bits.....

SR was cooking model with Concession for the street.
But one ride on a GasGas 200 and the money had to be found for one. KDX gone without a sniff of regret.
Then a mate bought the 300. Cycle repeats. Then he bought a newer 300, but they got too big for me and funds wouldn't allow at the time.

Yeah, I'm hoping to get something light, modern and agile to make me look a better rider. Need the peso's and some riding time furst.

It's on the short list..
Still hankering for something similar to the Ossa Explorer which popped up a wee while ago. Hens teeth, though.
I do like me trials bikes.

KDX200 need not have such things as flimsy radiators.
3.5G on FB may swap for modern 125 (with cash his way)
Cool old bikes, I forgot there was AC200 I remember riding a Kdx175 when i was about 11, seemed like the gruntiest bike in the world at the time.

Geez, $1800 bought my 91 about 20 yrs ago. That will be fucked in a way that 35yr old dirtbikes have nailed.

Obviously local to me and I think I may know the owner
edit : no I dont know the owner but I know of another one the same
