My new trail toy
« on: April 30, 2013, 02:56:20 PM »
Well to start the thread off a riding buddy of mine about 6 months ago had just gotten back into riding after 5 years (broken knee destroyed arm and what not) bought a 1997 kdx 220. Well the bike ran amazing just needed fork seals, he rode it for several months and we all decided to buy dual sports. Upon buying a 2009 ktm 450 exc it was time for the kdx to find a new home. My obsessive need to own motorcycles couldn't just let this perfectly good running bike go to some unloving home.   

And so became   "Barney"






1997 kdx 220 runs amazing sat for a while before my buddy bought it but with every ride it runs better.

does anyone else feel like these bikes are the very best trail bike ever made?
The 2-smoke runs deep in this one...
