Best thing i ever bought, had one for 20 years, never let me down, easy to maintain and rides like a wasp on steroids, lol My mom gave it away when i was on holidays, instead of getting mad at her I went to a bar and got drunk. Watching this video brought me back to that time, only thing missing is the lovely smell of two stroke, lol Great video 🙂
I love KDX 200's and ride one now....I'm 73 and all I've ridden for 50 years are open bikes racing desert.. I guess I'm a bit old for a lot of the big bikes now as I have a replaced knee, shoulder, both hands operated on, and more titanium in my back than a race car. That said, I'm surprised that anyone would ride(NOT DRIVE for Pete's sake!!!) a dirt bike without adequate protection. Shorts, tennies, etc....at least a helmet so he can save his brain and know how much he hurts when he goes down.....damn fool. I wish KTM was still making the 200 as I was thinking about buying one and NOBODY that has one is letting it go. Dunno what it is but 200's are very friendly and you can go anywhere with one.....no desert racing but great for plonking. I liked the big Husky and Maicos with 6-speed in the desert.....life starts at about 90 mph out there.
Very cool brother. I'm 66 and use to race AMA motocross. My street bike is a Honda VTX 1300S and my Dual Sportor as we called them enduro is a TW200. I sold my KLX250 which I loved back to the guy I bought it from only because with my 29.5 inch inseem it was a little to tall for me to through my led over. These dual sport bikes sit much higher than my 1973 Honda CR125 or my 1971 Yamaha DT350 back in the day. I took up climbing trees SRT and DRT last summer. Living life to the fullest Tom.
@@Billster1955 Keep the Faith, brother and Keep Riding. When I was young I sort of scoffed at the small bikes and now I have come to the conclusion that they are a heck of a lot easier to get off your leg, body, whatever when you have an attention lapse and screw the pooch and go down. I'd hate to have my Husky 500 or my YZ 465 eat my lunch at my age...they'd probably be putting me in a box and a hole in the ground now. Winter is trying to turn to spring now and it's about time I start getting ready for summer.....I'm 75 y.o. now and I am loving my KDX 200 or my IT 250 better all the time. Maybe this is the year Santa will bring me training wheels. Hang in there, young fella. LOL!
I had a KDX 200 back in 2000-2001. I think it was a 1991 or 1992 model year. It was my first enduro bike and I learned so fast. Easy to handle, fairly light weight and enough power and torque to get around the technical forest tracks we used to ride. Eventually had to sell it because of going to college, but I will always remember those days with a smile on my face. Maybe I will get back to enduro again some day. Just wondering what a soon to be 50 year old guy would ride today? 🙂
KDX200s and 220s are legendary bikes, I'd keep that one and maybe put a piston kit in it and a new big end bearing just incase. I had an 2009 KTM 200exc and I always regretted getting rid of it as I still maintain it was the most fun I've ever had on a bike of any capacity
Its idles low because it has blow by, that piston is slapping around in the cylinder. The piston is the softest metal in the motor so it the first to wear out especially when say it’s never ben apart for a rebuild
@@karlhurkett4170 if it’s a motocross 2 stroke and your on a track just make it scream in the powerband but if it’s a woods bike you can lug it around like a 4 stroke and will have much more bottom power
That KDX looks funny....it was before they flipped the front shocks. Cool bike....those are hogs!! That's something I would love to take up to Bass Lake here in Cali....mountain trails for days!!!
Even the newest models have forks like this, i think they did have modern inverted forks for a couple years in 90s... not sure why they didnt keep them
@@bay015boy Yes Sir....it's about a mile before The Pines turn off. It's on the left hand side and the tracks take you back into the valley but theres another passed bass lake on the right side and that takes u up into more mountainous trails. There's a couple hundred miles of trails at the first but the farther turn off is unknown
Jesus christ let the damn bike warm up , it doesnt need to be cleared out I have the same exact bike with the same pipe u dont let any of ur bikes warm up
Just bought one of these today. 89 kdx 200 for $800 runs great been garage kept for 15 years just needs some cosmetic work done. Came with 2 engines, a set of rims, handlebars extra gas tank, extra swing arm, new chain, new sprocket, a box full of engine parts plus extra kickstand and like 3 extra carbs. Not to mention the guy gave me an entire extra frame with forks, handle bar, wheels/tires, cdi everything but the engine and plastics basically. All for 800 dollars!! God bless Facebook marketplace lmao. So excited to restore this bad boy and make it street legal.
Lot of piston slap I'm hearing , needs the typical kdx uncorking and fine tuning , love those bike the 220 also , I ride ktm now but to me the kdx is the original woods bike
@@Taedoskii the powerband is only on 2 strokes... It's the point where your rpms are up high enough that your about to shift but not too high that you blow it up. This is where the bike will pull the hardest and it's what most 2 stroke riders love the most about the bikes mainly because it provides a quicker snap while clearing the engine out. If you don't know how to hit it watch videos of people racing and listen to the engine... Right before you hear the rider shift it will sound almost like a swarm of bees. Hope it helps and good luck😁
I had a 1990 KDX200 and put 4000 trail miles on it and it was a good bike. Sold it to a forest ranger that did airplane rebuilds on fire planes across the united states
Hey there buddy, i just wanted to say i really appreciate how honest and respectful you are of your neighbors and to the neighborhood too. You ride carefully and only send it when the conditions are good. And that just goes to show everyone just what sort of young man you are. So good on you for being you Joe. I can't wait to see you have a Kawasaki line up. Starting with a KX65,KX80,KX125,KDX200,KX,250,KX500 then you will be living the dream Joe, how cool would that video be hey. Awesome!!! Take care mate 😎✊💨✊💨
Old bikes got power bands out of this work who remembers the Yamaha 80 with the power band that would almost throw you off the bike I loved it but I'm fairly certain it's why my bike hurts now days lol
The big forks on the kdx???? what the F... are you talking about? those regular forks are NOT as hevy as USD forks nor do they have the same suspensionn travel.
You should take all of your bikes to Hatfield and Mccoy trail system in west VA and give them a proper ride. The trails are endless and awesome with a large variety of conditions. Happy trails.
Mid 80's Yamaha it 200's are great bikes also, I had a couple myself. Parts are getting harder and harder to find though and that's the issue. If you want more power they offer a 465 and a 490 I believe. Check em out if you already haven't .
Definitely one of the best woods bikes. My thumper will destroy it in the desert or hill climbs but ill give u the woods and u could even do some vet track riding with the kdx
There are 125 2-strokes that are faster that 250 4 strokes.... Why are you suprised how fast it is. This bike is just as any other 250. It doesnt matter what size the motor is, as long as it puts the power to the ground
Kaden Tomlin a 125 2 stroke is equivalent to a 250 4 stroke so yea with a few mods and maybe not any at all most 2 stokes will kick 4 stokes ass they just eat them up
125 2 stroke or 250 4 stroke would probably eat this as far as overall power is concerned, and a 250 2 stroke would be no comparison. Heres the but; the kdx has bucket loads of low down torque and awesome gearbox ratios, which is what makes them so good, actually better than many 4 strokes in this regard which is unusual for a 2 stroke
I don't understand this channel. Riding dirt bikes on the road constantly. Then come to a field with absolutely 100% perfect enduro bike dirt conditions (I mean 100% ideal) while on an enduro bike (one of the most iconic enduro bikes ever produced) and states "It is a little too wet". WTF!? I can understand not wanting to rip up a neighbors yard which is respectable and good morals, but it just seems like there is a fear for true off-road riding. Maybe we can get some video's of you racing an Enduro, Hare Scramble or even Full on Motocross Event?
Okey there bud, I don't know if anyone has told you yet but that bike sounds like death. Wristpin, piston slap, or some ancient main bearings... maybe all three!
It's called a KIPS rattle...it's a Kawasaki thing specifically for this bike. Look it up...Ride one of these legendary 2-strokes if you can...it'll rip your arms off and give you chillz. Trust me...I know
@@neogeomedia idk man, I have an '89 kdx 200 and it definitely doesn't sound as bad as the one in the video. Also it's a trail bike it's not that fast it definitely won't rip your arms off lol.
I have the same exact bike and I’m 5 foot 9 and I can get on easy. Granted I am young. It is pretty tall though, but it can be lowered all the way to where I can get both feet flat on the ground when I’m on it.
I have this bike, it falls on its face much higher than that so he is shifting at the right time he is just not using all the gears. In 6th mine will do about 87 MPH.
@@smoke05s it ain't stock then....my bud used to have an 84 stock and I had xr200 stock, I weighed 140 lbs and the xr did 75 mph, I had a speedo....the KDX with a 145 lb rider did 71 top end....good acceleration though, but in 4th gear I would go by him easy. 4 strokes truck, 2 strokes suck
@@borismcgillicutty3042 The 91 must be faster then. It was stock because I just rebuilt it and the speed measurement was before the rebuild. I had a speedo too and I am sure it was accurate. My 12 year old rider was a little lighter than that but weight does not affect top speed when you have that much room to get there. Don't know what else to tell you.
That KDX looks like it has been well taken care of and lightly ridden. With only 900ish miles the top end should still be in good condition. I would do a compression check, (125-150 psi would be a good reading for this bike). and keep it.
kx two-smoke I despise people like you who defend shitty “riders” this guy sucks at riding and blows up everything he touches. Check out some of my videos, you’ll see how I ride and maybe then you’ll be able to tell the difference between a good rider and a shitty one. FFS the guy doesn’t even take the bike into 6th gear because he doesn’t know it’s a 6 speed and because he’s shifting too soon to reach it 😂🤦🏼♂️ You need to take a biiiiiiiiiig step back. I see all your little comments defending your Kawi butt buddy.
I'm gonna blow your mind, you ready? If you twist that throttle through its FULL range of motion you'll instantly grow hair on your chest and develop an urge to cut trees for fun. Side effects include but limited to spontaneous laughter and joy that's uncontrollable and frequent.
I had the rare red Kawasaki kdx200 only made for 6 months to see if they would sell more bikes with red plastics because Honda was killing them that year lol miss that bike
you should actually ride the bikes next time take em somewhere like trails or track there no point in ridding these far more capable machines around the yard. no offense man i live your stuff but the content would be sick
Umm I’d suggest u drop or raise the needle clip thing to possibly fix that big for first and second because my dad did on his 250r and it instantly fixed it

If you are open to 4 strokes, the 450 xcf-w is a fantastic bike. Ktm also makes great 2 strokes as well.
@@evanwhittaker5287 Thanks! I see there is a KTM 350 also.
Any Honda XR is always a good choice too if you’re like 4 strokes, plentiful
Another 200 I just got one for 1800 gives the 250s hell
just buy another KDX200, mate! why not?!
Let me guess it’s gonna sell for 2300 because of the fmf pipe
too wet is the bike made out of sugar? melt alert?
Philippe van Heek he’s made of sugar
Should keep this bike. Great condition and for the casual rides around the fields/woods, couldn't ask for a better machine.
keep in mind he fuck up every bike he have, he should sell it
To wet for a Dirtbike?
HA GAAAYYYY
I mean he IS wearing short so
@You're Right But ...I can almost feel the sarcasm
@You're Right But Nah its cool. I'm just used to ppl being sarcastic on here so I couldn't tell. Sorry about that bro 👍

Look at how tall the engine is lol u ain't fooling me
I legit just bought this bike tonight. Don't mean the same year/model. I mean this exact bike.

i rode one not too long ago and it is way faster that it looks on camara

I had an 88 kdx 200 fmf pipe and ram valve ,sprocket swap. it was a wheelie machine and awesome on trails.
What’s the difference between this bike and a KMX? I own a KMX
Thank you mine is the black and red version👍
Sold mine but it could definitely keep up with anything on the trail
You are shifting to early
He’s not in a race. He’s Just casually riding
I have this bike, it falls on its face much higher than that so he is shifting at the right time he is just not using all the gears. In 6th mine will do about 87 MPH.
@@smoke05s it ain't stock then....my bud used to have an 84 stock and I had xr200 stock, I weighed 140 lbs and the xr did 75 mph, I had a speedo....the KDX with a 145 lb rider did 71 top end....good acceleration though, but in 4th gear I would go by him easy. 4 strokes truck, 2 strokes suck
@@borismcgillicutty3042 The 91 must be faster then. It was stock because I just rebuilt it and the speed measurement was before the rebuild. I had a speedo too and I am sure it was accurate. My 12 year old rider was a little lighter than that but weight does not affect top speed when you have that much room to get there. Don't know what else to tell you.
@@smoke05s a stock KX500 would only hit about 90 top end, your memories may be muddled lol....serious, no 200cc trail bike is going 87 stock ever
You should keep that bike for trail riding
Killer woods bike that you can hit jumps with !
Zion Kurth hahah yea right hitting jumps with a 250 lb bike
@@masoncoopermx3127 loooooool
When he says "take it for a rip" he doesnt mean go mudding with it
I like your videos but was wondering how you ride all the dirt bikes on the road aren’t the police bothered?
Can anyone tell me what the case is here is it legal on them back roads or is it just luck of the draw if he sees police?
You didn’t let it idle for 5 mins to warm up I hope.
You should try to find an old 2 stroke Yamaha it250. I use to have a 81 best bike I ever had and the only bike I ever regret selling.
Bro how tf does a KDX 200 from 92' look newer than my KMX 125 out of 99' weird what kawasaki did back then but great video.
Cr250 and cr125 vs the kdx200? Race ?
ImPact www.AtomicRedNeck.Com the kdx will pump any of em
Good video Joe, what have you done with Chuck?
I have a 1988 Honda four wheeler TRX 200 SX need help how hard is it to put in clutch
I purchased one for my uncle kdx220 and it felt underpowered. Maybe it needed a refresh top end. They do feel heavy somewhat
This bike is very good and a good looker in my opinion wish I could magic it to South Wales 🏴
That KDX looks like it has been well taken care of and lightly ridden. With only 900ish miles the top end should still be in good condition. I would do a compression check, (125-150 psi would be a good reading for this bike). and keep it.
Please learn how to rev out the gears properly you'll be able to ride quicker and smoother
kx two-smoke I despise people like you who defend shitty “riders” this guy sucks at riding and blows up everything he touches. Check out some of my videos, you’ll see how I ride and maybe then you’ll be able to tell the difference between a good rider and a shitty one. FFS the guy doesn’t even take the bike into 6th gear because he doesn’t know it’s a 6 speed and because he’s shifting too soon to reach it 😂🤦🏼♂️ You need to take a biiiiiiiiiig step back. I see all your little comments defending your Kawi butt buddy.
@kx two-smoke I would make a video riding 🤣🤣🤣 it's not hard to change gear and hit the band
@@nyle1234567 yea but that guy is barely hitting the power band lol
Y’all never rode a kdx there is not a power band
I'm gonna blow your mind, you ready? If you twist that throttle through its FULL range of motion you'll instantly grow hair on your chest and develop an urge to cut trees for fun. Side effects include but limited to spontaneous laughter and joy that's uncontrollable and frequent.
You d realize it’s a 2 stroke
I had the rare red Kawasaki kdx200 only made for 6 months to see if they would sell more bikes with red plastics because Honda was killing them that year lol miss that bike
No red in the US but there was a white option.
That was some deep stuff.
man..all these rich kids with many bikes..... what impress me is the size of the grass...they must spend 1 week of the month trying to trim.the yard
you should actually ride the bikes next time take em somewhere like trails or track there no point in ridding these far more capable machines around the yard. no offense man i live your stuff but the content would be sick
You do know its a 6 speed right????!!!!!! Seems like you only went thru 5 gears
Wow Great bike bro what is your height?
Early 2000s they had a kdx220 for 3800 brand new ye.left over nice bike Kawasaki and cheap
Me: Finds a review of KDX200
Me: Realizes is the 2vingage channel 😭😭😭
Me: rides a yz 125 with full gear
This guy: rides a KDX 200 with shorts
Maybe Cos every bike you ride is clapped out
Umm I’d suggest u drop or raise the needle clip thing to possibly fix that big for first and second because my dad did on his 250r and it instantly fixed it
Keep the kdx because you can trail ride it and it’s faster
