Thanks Brian, that was one of the incentives for me to get one. I've always wanted one but watching you having fun just helped me decide.

Yeah it has a plate but it's not regestered, once I get it setup I might register it.

I rode a kdx once but it seemed a little tired. Post up a report comparing her to the klx, just your opines of the good and bad for both bikes. And they both got em.

I started off with 2 strokes and I've always liked the power delivery. I must admit I'm not totally comfortable with a 4 stroke off road. Once I get it going right I'll do a report

I think you'll love it. They are said to be a bit more tame then other 2-strokes...a less-agressive power band so I am told, but that makes them easier to ride. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

I rode a Gas Gas 300 last year and it was scary fast. The KDX I just test rode yesterday before I bought it and you can feel it would mono easily in 1st and 2nd if you want it to. The KLX need a little bump to get the front up

Thanks guys for all the positive comments
