I live in rural Tennessee and these bikes ruled the woods when I was in high school (graduated in 95) ..lots of nasty hills and hollows or as we say "hallers" old logging roads Creek crossings etc...and these bikes would rip all day long most had the 200 kdx but there was a couple 250s around ....there is nothing like hearing a pack of 20 plus two smokes on the pipe coming threw the hollows .....
Donny Wilcox sounds like a blast, I’ve ridden south East Ky some good stuff, on an 86 IT200, YZ 250 suspension, motor work top to bottom, pipe. I, sorry I let her go, dammit LOL
@@deborahchesser7375 I have an 86 IT 200 I need to go through again. Was my dream bike in high school. Finally bought it 4 years after college!
I graduated in 95 also. I had a 93 kdx 250. I loved that bike. It tore up the single tracks in washington state
Sounds like paradise, I'd have a mossberg 590 on my back and a bag of grass😄
Same story Bro! KDX and RMX Kicked Ass in the Mountains of WV! We had the Blackwater 100 in the 80ies and 90ies these bikes ran through Water, Mud,Rocks,Snow! Love this Channel Great Work Guys!😊💪👍
It's a 1991 but it has the graphics from a 1993 on it, I love this channel! My dad managed a Kawasaki/Suzuki shop for 30 years and I basically grew up in the shop. I remember a lot of these bikes brand new in the crate, this is awesome.
I remember these.. I bought a new 1992 KX 125. Loved it.. what was the difference (purpose?) of the KDX 200 vs KDX 250?
Man I wish I had my 1991 KDX 200 back... but I was fortunate to have found a well maintained 1995 KDX 200 fairly cheap. Love these bikes!
hoptoithymie def a great weapon in the tight shit, I love IT’s too and WR’s. The 92-93 WR200 was a sweet little bike too, and rare as hens teeth. I need another bike or 7
I had that exact bike, I switched out the spark plug with a splitfire, the increase in power was very noticeable...I also had a 93 KDX 200 which was a great bike also..
Did it make your jetting more effective or just improve the combustion? I tried them in a cr125 and didnt notice that much but im sure its subjective to each individual machine
Besides the history behind these bikes my favorite thing about the channel is watching you guys riding sick rippahs.
I can't get enough of these videos. Great stuff, keep em coming👌💪👍
Nostalgia kickin in right about now 😍 Damn I miss those days 😁
I had the same exact bike. Brings back memories. Was my favorite bike ever
I had a ‘92 the thing was awesome and loved the forks on it . Tool it down an old railroad bed and just stay on the gas👍🏻
Here in the UK these an the yam DTR 125 were awesome bikes .. Still loads in UK for sale too
Bought my son one back when he was 13 he couldn't even touch the floor but he was wild on it, it was only the 200cc though
There's only about 3 or 4 hp difference between the 200 & 250 I think from memory.
@@andrewmurphy7401 BEST part of the 200 is they came(and 220's) with a 6 sp box- made ALL the difference- I had the 220 and loved the torque down low. Did not scream like the 200 did, but MY GOD, the low end on it would shame anything near it's size in a 4stroke. Need to find a titled 220 and register for the street!!
I had a 91 KDX 250 for 20 years. I sold it and bought a YZ 250 F. Never should have done that. I thought a more recent bike would be great. The YZF was a great bike but I had more fun with the KDX, plus I think I was faster on the KDX. If you have one, keep it.
100% mate I had a 200 and the 91 250 and honestly the best bikes I ever had, obviously I’m a 2 stroke man though lol
I just updated my kdx. I have a 93’ and just put a full fmf Fatty gold series exhaust, silencer, upsized to a 36mm carb, and added Vforce3 reeds and a new top end. After all those parts it’s insane how much of a difference it is from stock.
You guys have the greatest job on earth.
Kaplan that’s good to here love seeing your picks!
I’ve always wanted a 1991 kx. Such a masterpiece
Can't wait too visit the museum.
Oh I love those things. Wish I could buy it😂
I mise my old 93 Suzuki rmx 250 it was an absolute beast ..
minimat098 those things were silky smooth.
I have a 95, it’s incredible!! 9x/10 I chose to ride it over my 2006 RM250
Dang! I would love one of these!
The Low End on these things is so nice. Great woods bikes.
I have a '92 KDX 250. Ridden hard but lovingly maintained. It's perfect for me. I ride desert and woods.
You guys are good people
One of the most fun trail bikes, ripped around West Michigan for a few year on one, wish I never would have sold it.
Those shroud graphics are amazing
I’m glad I watched this video, I’ve just bought one for $800 and it looks identical to that bike but mine needs work and god it sounds and performs amazing, can’t wait to ride mine
I was thinking on rebuilding the one I have in the shop .it's completely clamped and needs going through. That's why I watched this .thanks for the inspiration. I have a 1987 kdx200 I ride regularly with a old pro circuit pipe paid 300$! And just got my buddies 2011 husqvarna wr300 for 700$ , with street registration. My favorite is the '87, so easy to ride.
Love that bike! I really love that coat as well.
I remember those Kawasaki's. Killer Graphics!
That and the RMX ruled the BlackWater 100 back in My Home State WV!😊👍back in the 80ies and 90ies....miss them Hills!!😬👍
The Blue Forks look incredible with the seat
Perfect bike for Enduro..
Got trophies on kdx 200 back in 90s.
motor head1 great bikes especially in the tight stuff. I had IT’s my last being an 86’ 200, last year made. I need another trail/dual sport
I would get it on the road with supermoto wheels
@@deborahchesser7375 I had a Husqvarna wr250 on road in 82... awesome fun.
Shalom
We just picked one up and are going to get it back to good condition this winter.
Would love to move to Thailand and use this as my daily driver. Kenny Powers style.
You're never too old to play!! Got carried away there Ken! Love it🙂.
I'm 49 now and can still get myself in trouble on a dirtbike regularly! An 18 year old brain and a 49 year old body sometimes don't get on with each other....you know how it is, but it won't stop me.
I'm in the UK and back in about 1996 i had a nearly new 1992 Japanese import KDX250SR, the street version of this one with proper lights, speedo, turn signals and autolube 2 stroke oil injection. It was a great trail bike but the engine was a bit fragile for everyday use, because it was basically a KX250 engine a in softer tune. Only found your channel fairly recently so I'm catching up.....it's great by the way, you are living my dream Ken. Motocross/trail riding are not so popular in the UK. The authorities seem to be more hellbent on destroying the sport than nurturing it over here nowadays. It's a shame because the UK used to be leaders of the dirtbike and trials world 50-60 years ago. 30 years ago you could ride anywhere you liked in the UK, now its a very different story and very limited.
The anti-fun and freedom police are in full force over here in 2021...not for me🤠.
Keep it up Kap, and try not to F yourself playing on the dirtbikes🤕
Thanks brother I may be 56 but as soon as I strapped that helmet on and I'm 18 all over again and it's 1983 again
ken look like he having fun with the wheelies good video wooooooooo
I have a 1993 klx 650 and I’m in love 😍
I had that same bike..I miss it, had a 1987 and a 1992 XR600R also..miss them to..fun bikes. bought all 3 of mine brand new off the show room floor.
Beautiful bike.
Makes me enjoy my hunker 93 seeing the mint classic
What a dream!
nice bikes bro!! i have couple 86-xr250r 's, love the vintage bikes..
Oh man what a ripper ! I'd love to hit the trails on this today 👌 we only got the crappy steel tank street models here in Australia
No we did not we got the same bikes as this in Australia and the 200
Dang I’d love to have that for the trail, it’s been too long, I need to ride.
You get a bike yet?
@@fatalcapsaicin5157 did you get a bike yet?
@@Thefailcycle I Have a KDX 125 perfect bike
Have a bike yet .. we all care about you and need to see you free!
Ride for life! Get a NEW bike. Enjoy life.
Man thats nice.Would be a fun weekend toy
That's a sweet kdx !
No tail light? Curious enough. I didn't realize they made a KDX 250.
I had a '94 200 that I rebuilt after buying it off a spoiled brat's dad. The kid abused & destroyed the bike. Baseball bat material as he wrecked a brand new bike in less than two years.
I now have a '98 KDX 220 with Bark Busters, handguards, & FMF fatboy chrome pipe. Forks are a little soft but you can tractor through the woods or rip a motocross track too. Love it.
Awesome made my day
i had a 1981 KDX175 and rode with the same Hi Point boots!

Dream bike of the 90s, friend had a 125 and I was jealous.
Junior razzing Senior! 🤣🤣..Awesome Family Dynamics!
They did a prototype kx 250 enduro bigger tank and few other bits but ended up going with this the kdx 250
Just the best fun machine ever
I had that same bike, bought it brand new for $3200 in 91. The only difference is I had the rear tale light. Loved that bike. Hauled ass.
dude, really really like this bike.great work man.keep it up man.from R1 Greg 👍👊😉
Miss my 92 kx
Kawasaki KDX!!! Sublime!!!!
THATS A NICE BIKE 🏆👌🏼🏆💯
Yo comencé con la KDX 250 93 y tengo un excelente recuerdo, posteriormente pasé a la KLX 650R que es la que actualmente tengo pero la KDX era muy divertida para manejar una gran moto.
love the hi point boots
Beautiful
This was an awesome video man haven't seen this one in a minute I left the comment yesterday on you working like a clock and you even said it in this video imagine that that's what's up
Awesome bro
I have a 91 kdx250, traded away a cr500 for it but i think I've had more fun on the streets/trails with the kdx in the 10+years I've owned it now.
Did anyone notice that BMW at the back? Classic
I’m in uk I’ve got 98 that’s in factory condition, in fact I was on the frp off roading in the USA cuz you guys definitely have access to knowledge
And parts , the only thing that lets my bike down is the decals it’s a 220
You don’t see many 250s over here
Nice bike

Awesome Machine! Viva la 2t👍😉
your dad is so cool
I know you really know you’re stuff when it comes to bikes mate and I hate to even point it out because to me your the man but at about 8:24 you said K.I.P.S stood for Kawasaki injection powervalve system and like I said as much as I hate to correct you K.I.P.S stands for Kawasaki intergrated powervalve system the reason I know this is I have a 92 KDX 200 that I wish was clean as that 250 that is a beautiful bike anyway sir if you read this It’s an easy mistake to make all the best from Scotland 🏴 it’s always great to see all these beautiful older bikes in such great condition much respect.
My dream bike would love to own one
I had 91 200. That 250 is amazing. I want it.
Proud owner of a 2005 KDX 220 😎
I have a 92 , the only things that aren’t OEM are the handlebars, and the front fender. Maybe 5 hours on the top end right now.
Wow why they stop making those great bike great slow wheelie too sr .nice work
sounds fresh
Awesome machine wheelies on 1st 2nd &3 Rd on take off. .
I would take that over a new bike any day that is a beautiful bike👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Nice bike, but not the same frame as the same model year KX 250. Not even close. It is an awesome, fun bike, nonetheless !
Anybody should be proud to own this gem ! Fun, fun, fun !
The 2nd year of the perimeter frame of steel 👌
You got it
I’ve just picked one of these up recently in the U.K.
Crispy!
I had the 125 KDX SR and the KMX 200 the KMX had Showa back shock from factory but was the older black engine
@@rickwaldron4255 had them both KMX and KDX
I have the same bike but it’s a 1990 and I can’t wait to rip it gotta get it fixed up front end is damaged.
had a old kdx i think it was a 425 or 400 ffun trail bikes
Sweet
Man that thing not even broke in yet👌💪
I used to have that bike.. never had the shrouds though.. i traded it for a 98 cr125r that i still ride to
Pretty sure thats the one I have my eye on in NY to go see this weekend. Says it needs jetting dialed, idk if he botched jetting, because I would assume it was dialed when she left your hands.
@Kaplan America
you got me at enough jibber jabber ken haha
what happend to the original rear fender? didn't it have a taillight that year?
Damn hate I missed this, the 250 model wasn’t made many years. I got a 220 at least lol
Es una moto bastante alta mi altura es de 1.80 y me costaba llegar bien con los pies al suelo..tiene un motor más lento que una kx no necesita ser muy puntiaguda su respuesta.... tiene 40 o 45 cv pero unos bajos tremendos ideales para enduro ...es sin duda la madre de las motos enduro viene de una evolución constante por parte de Kawasaki que siempre la hizo ganadora por prestaciones respuesta de su motor y chasis...la horquilla es kayaba y cumple a la perfección su trabajo ...tiene un alto consumo de combustible ..algo así como 3 km un litro de NAFTA ...la moto del vídeo tiene algunos cambios estéticos ..su escape es de nueva generación y más pequeño las calcos pertenecen al modelo 1993 el colin trasero lleva una luz y solamente posee un cuenta millas ...comparte casi en un 90 % sus componentes con la kx 250...es una verdadera aplanadora de terreno pantanoso de piedras pasa todos los obstáculos gracias a su torque y altura ..los plásticos son de excelente calidad se aguantan todos los golpes ...lo único malo es que no se encuentran a la venta ejemplares de 250 cc es realmente una pena
UN SALUDO SEBASTIAN, T COMENTO Y T PRESUMO Q YO TNGO EN LA ACTUALIDAD UNA JOYA COMO ESTA Y HOY PRECISAMENTE LA SAQUE A RODAR PARA SACARLE LAS TELARAÑAS JAJA ES UNA MAKINA PODEROSA ES MY PRIMERA MOTO DE ESTA CLASE PERO ES UNA BESTIA NO HE MANEJADO NINGUNA OTRA DE ESTE TIPO PERO ESTA ME ENCANTA SIMPLEMENTE VEO Q TIENES CONOCIMIENTO DE ESTE TIPO DE MOTO YA SEA Q LA TIENES BIEN ESTUDIADA O KIZAS TUVISTE ALGUNA IGUAL ANTERIORMENTE!!!
@@jesusalonso1937 excelente amigo por usted!!! Lo felicito !! Aguante el Kawasaki KDX!!!!
What pipe will fit 1991 kx 250?
I literally just bought a 92 KDX and I don’t know if I should be terrified. It’s my first 250 I used to have a Honda 150. It’s a major upgrade. Anyone got any tips or anything?
I had a KDX 400 one time great bike but I blew it up and the only thing that I didn't like you had to put a sleeve in it because it was an Electro Fusion cylinder nickel plated it couldn't be bored over kind of a bummer I went back to Honda's after that
how Much did this bike end up going for?
Nice E30 aswell
IQ test! Come on man! 😂
I like the whole cucumber pickle analogy.
You should do a vlassic commercial.
It would be a classic!
I'm keeping my powder dry on this one.
The last few bikes I bragged about on here
somebody else got to take them home! 😕
Actually, this is a diversion.
So nobody will bid on the one I want.
I'm going to be calling you guys Wednesday.
Ken can you leave an email at the front
desk in case I'm not able to get a hold of
you on the phone?
I only have 4 days to make it happen.
I have a western union here at Walgreen's.
Thanks man!
Call me anytime brother 860 916 9784
