I used to have a KDX200. still regret selling it as it was the best all round green lane bike I had. the newer enduro bikes are better at going fast, but the KDX had great tank range and lots of mid range torque,

I ran it with an FMF fatty pipe, the top of the airbox removed and jetted it to suit and it pulled like a train.

I will be able to get the storm sort very soon, been working flat out getting the new man cave up, floor done, wiring to go in this weekend then wall insulation and finish off with intnerla cladding.

Then I need to make a descision on the work bench and storage arrangements

Nice cave Bazza ... :thumbup:

Build a bench across the width at one end.

For temp storage get some baskets from your local co-op or some-such, I used to snare them from work or ask the shopping delivery man if he would leave them, although they have clamped down on this a bit now & tend to count them... :(

This sort of thing, all the big supermarkets use them...

These days if I happen to see some waiting for collection out in the car park of a co-op I ahem, liberate a few... They work well as they stack up.

If you want proper racking the try Big Dug...http://www.bigdug.co.uk/?__ja=cgid:2073 ... tAodxBsA9w

Mines an 06 so the last of them, not like they changed much. Ive got USDs on it, Pro Circuit full system, airbox cover off, kx125 kickstart etc. Goes very well.

Bikes like yours are called Predators over here. Few mates have them. Go well. I like the repsol colours on it.

My last track day a guy with one came up to me after a session and had a moan about my pipes scaring him as I went past on the outside on a turn. :wtf: My comment about the thing under his right hand makes the bike go faster didnt help. :lol:

i must be honest this does sound good but my Storm sounded bloody lovely. I don't miss the vibey fingers though. Fuel lasts about the same and the build quality is still very good. I love the repsol colours and it has the best butt end of any bike i have ever had. A happy boy. :D
