2002 vs 2007 kx250

[RM125king]

hi, im just debating at the moment if i should upgrade my bike. i currently have a 2002 kx 250 but the 2007 model gets released in 3 weeks and im wanting to know is it worth upgrading? what are some major differences?

i have the last of the steel frame model so the 07 will be aluminum frame but what else has changed? engine power?

[cheese]

2 stroke advances aer naff all cause of teh emmission laws BS.

Anyway, if you can afford it, I'd get a newer bike, you get all nice new linkages, bearings etc.... nice new motor.

I don't really know if there is major differences otherwise sorry...

Well originally I followed the link into the post, thinking ooo a new 250 road bike. Didnt click that it says "off road" section right next to the post title. So searching google for kx250. Come up with an article on them.. oh they are dirt bikes.. damn.. No wait a minute thats pretty cool. I want one. Too many toys and not enough money. too many toys what the hell im 19 I can have as many toys as I want. Anyway pointless post .

the 07 model is not alloy frame, no kx 2 strokes have ever been, the 07 has not changed much over the 06, but over the 02 it is a huge difference, whole new bike, much lighter felling and better handling, the motor is also much easier to use with a smoother power band than the eariler models, and at under $10 g new they are a good deal,

ps they have been delayed a bit so they will be about 4 -5 weeks

Yep, still steel frame.
It's the KX250F that's had the alloy frame.

Oh no the shame of owning a 2007 bike with a steel frame..... How "Nineties" :

well this is a super un-biased post
But I wouldnt mind getting a go on a KX250 Quite liked the 05 RM250 I rode though nice smooth power, heaps of legs and sooooo lite compared to farten clunken XR 250......
