Late 90's KX250's
« on: November 15, 2013, 01:25:58 pm »
I've been looking at a few nice late 90's KX250's.  1997-1999 which do you think is the best and why?

have to say 98 and 99, especially the 99, are easy to ride and fast too, what kx isn't?  Rode a standard 99 kx 250 in a cross country back then, it was better than my standard Ktm250exc of same year almost everywhere, even in the bush!!!

I'm with holeshot buddy on this one. I was wrenching for another rider at Kawasaki When Lee Hogan was riding for them in 2001 SX, and can clearly recall the head wrench Matt Bromley building a 97 replica motor for Hoges as it had a better delivery for SX.
