Pros: Good power Good suspension low noise

Pros: value, reliability, abiity to grow with rider skill, cult-like following

Pros: great trail bike; good power band; many optional performance mods available
Cons: restrictive airbox
Summary: The "H" series Kawasaki KDX 200 has been around since 1995 with no major changes. The KDX 200 is probably the best 2-stroke trail bike ever built. While some of the new 4-stroke enduros are excellent on the trails, the KDX is quite a bit cheaper and ... read more

Cons: soft stock suspension, slow stock motor
Summary: This is a great all-around dirt bike. My dad bought it for trail riding, but after my old bike bit the dust, I slowly took over the KDX as my race bike. Showing up on a stock 96 KDX got me strange looks, cosidering I was racing 250 motocross race. ... read more

Cons: lacks power in stock form suspension and motor old technology seat padding too soft
Summary: The 2001 kdx 220 is a clearly the best bang for the buck in the 2stroke off road class. In its stock form the bike is sluggish but capable. I weigh 215lbs so i needed some more power. I put an fmf gnarly pipe with the Powercore2 silencer to start,
