Best value off road bike for $3K

[freerider]

I had a KDX200 early 90's model and it was great. I also went swimming with it on a trail ride in the middle of no mans land. Thought I was walking back but as Trumpy said take plug out, pump dry and away it went. Highly recommend them, miss mine so much.

Yeah Thanks guys I have gone & bought one, a 98 KDX200 on your recommendations, goes bloody well , starts first or second kick, it has plenty of power, All that I need for trail riding, you would have to be a very good rider to use all the bike to its power potential.One thing I need to look at is the front forks seem a bit soft, I have read that this a common critisism, and and can be easily fixed with some heavier fork springs, i will get around to it some time, but in the meantime, Im out have some fun.

nice choice,

heavy front fork springs are the ticket, .42kg/mm, it will make a world of difference to the front end

Hey Scott, how much are the stronger KDX fork springs? (I weigh 72kgs with all my gear on))
