The beloved KDX those who have had the honor to have rode one know why there loved. I owned an 89 till it died. It must have had a billion miles on it when I sold it for 500 bucks about 5 years ago. Never had a single problem until the top end went out after 20 years of riding it. Should have kept it but it was in rough shape after all those years of fun.
I owned two 1987 of those bikes they never gave me any problems whatsoever just new back tires and oil changes throughout the years that's it super reliable bike.
@@tdog54 if its a 4 stroke the oil lubricates the whole engine in a two stroke it’s only in the transmission. With a 2, the crank and piston get lubricants from the fuel. So what I mean is when somebody says oh I always changed the oil( on a 2T) , that’s only beneficial for 4 strokes, with a two stroke it doesn’t really matter because only the tranny is lubricated by crankcase oil.
bought a 1995 kdx 200, rode for 20 years..never got left in the bush or forest...by any make model or size..Sold it for what i paid for it..Thats a win for kawasaki
You guys are my all time favorite you tube, I've owned quite a few of these beautiful bikes at one time. Thanks for keeping the sport alive, I love seeing a trailer unload of classics.
That's a really nice so clean! Awesome wizard tuned kdx200. When I was a kid I had a 1980 kdx 80. It was my first. It's what got me started in racing. Thanks Ken for the info. Thanks Ronnie for the video Kaplan cycles number one
I was to big for a KDX175 or 200 but had a lot of friends that rode and raced enduros on them. Such a great bike, shame Kawasaki killed them as well as the IT175, IT200, PE175, etc.
That is a reliable and powerful 200cc! indestructible!!! In a week you just put three of my favorite bikes from the 80s, my dream bikes at the time... XR250, PE175 and KDX 200, I had a twin shock XR200 and the PE 175 but never had the chance for Kawa..
Sweet bike my brother used to own one and that was one of the best New England woods bikes ever made. Can't believe you guys lost all your snow I'm like right up the road in Southwick even after Sunshine all day today still a s*** ton of snow
Born in 1990, had me a 1990 KDX200 a few years ago. Replaced the power valve and a few minor things. I was quite impressed with it. That’s a beautiful Kawi you got there Kaplan. I’d love to visit your museum at some point. God bless 🇺🇸
Sweet bike mate loving the 200 . I had a wr200 and it was a good balance . I’ll definitely keep my eye out for ones here in oz . They go for cheap here 😉
This Is Definitely One Of The Greatest Of All Time's & Still Looks Amazing To This Day,,,If U Ride In The Woods U Wont Find A Better Bike , These R Every Wear For A Reason ,, & It Is A Willy Machine Bad"Ass Muther 💚🤟🏻🤟🏻
The KDX line has always been awesome bikes. However I did run into a few of the kdx with shredded teeth on the internal Kickstarter gear making them skip and not catch when tryna to kick it over. It wasn’t exclusive to any year or generation of the kdx neither. Asides from the Kickstarter problem they were all amazing bikes.
My brother bought a Brand new 1985 Kawasaki Kdx 80 it was cursed lol it seriously hurt everyone who rode it lol my brother broke his leg and his friend took it w out permission and broke his jaw w out helmet dumbass lol but i was 4yrs old and watched him ride it like it was the greatest thing on earth hes 10yrs older than me and i always and still do look up to him he tought me alot about fixing stuff he said just try and figure it out by doing it yourself if you dont try then you failed
Thought I was going with the company I work for to Dayton bike week , my passion for motorcycles and the culture is slowly burning out , amy company looking for a fabricator/ marketing team member that is a motorcycle company ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
88 owner here , really like this cooled mean machine!
One of the best Kawasaki came out with. . They should have never stopped making them .
Had 87 and 93, best dirt bikes ever.
I had a 89' KDX 200, it was bulletproof and started every time on the 2nd kick, totally loved the bike!!
First year liquid cooled
There's just something about an air-cooled 2 stroke that's magic 😜
One of the most universally capable off-road motorcycles ever... You can't stop KDX's😂 Plus they're super light and nimble 💨 Braaap 🔥

You do know the oil is only for the transmission right ? The only oil that lubricates the crank and cylinder is in the fuel.
@@deborahchesser7375are you high
@@deborahchesser7375your so smart
@@deborahchesser7375what are you talking about? There’s still oil to change.

My first bike was an 84 KX 80. This bike is beautiful. Takes me back to my childhood.
Love the KX80’s of the 80’s!
Nobody could keep up with them.
I had an ‘82 YZ80.
@@doca8792 I loved the yellow and black Yamaha color scheme back then. I wish they would have kept it.
@@doca8792was the kx much quicker than the yz? coz that particular model has quite the reputation.
have an 87 KDX the funnest and most capable bike ever, so light and flickable, where ever you point it will go!
Best days of my life have been around that 2 stroke sound! ❤

Clean Kawasaki. Those little 200’s were rockets , especially after they went water cooled in final years. Nice example here😎👍
"If you don't like this bike, you'll never be happy"
🤣 Best sales pitch ever, Straight up.
Amazing KDX! Great Enduro bike back in the 80's.

200’s are so good in the woods, KDX’s and IT Yamaha’s are a couple of the best,.
This is one of thee most underrated UA-cam Chanel’s ever!
Omg I love this Chanel
I had an early 90s kdx 200 with the pink and purple seat and stickers. Wish I still had it😌
Nothing but good memories with the kdx.
I had a 1996 kdx 200 best Enduro bike i ever had.
Kawasaki always made great streetbikes and dirtbikes. She sounds peppy, and looks brand new out of the crate.
I had one of these. Took the ride of my life in the New Jersey Pine Barrens on it and it never let me down!
Oh goodness. Love your finds. Nothin better than sound of a two stroke. Grew up on early and Mid 80s KX’s.
I had a KDX175. Wish I still had it!!

Go talk to them. You have your chance now.
Love the KDX !
I’ve owned several KDX’s. Had an 86. Should have kept it. I currently have an all original 91 KDX200. 👍
Nice bike Ken they getting fewer to find now. Cheers

Yet another great bike. Used to ride a friends ! Ran 4 ever !

Another great vid. I had a few of these myself. Great bikes.
This bikes a winner!
I had one and loved it👍🏼
What a beauty!
Sweet bike Ken ! Thank you for sharing!
You had me at fanny pack🤣🤘
Wow that’s nice and clean YO
It's PERFECT! 👍
Beautiful 😍
Born in 1990, had me a 1990 KDX200 a few years ago. Replaced the power valve and a few minor things. I was quite impressed with it. That’s a beautiful Kawi you got there Kaplan. I’d love to visit your museum at some point. God bless 🇺🇸
Man oh man.
I had a 1989 KDX 2000. I could not keep that front end on the ground... :)
Original beer/flask holder
The IT 1986 and KDX 200 were perfect bikes I’d love the new Beta 200with oil injection street legal !
Nice 👍🏾
always liked this bike n wanted one but felt i was to big as a teen as the suspension was pretty soft for me being a 200 pounder
Very similar to my Yz 250x . My x should have come with a headlight
It literally just bought an 87 today for $75 in parts and pieces
In your opinion what was better...the kdx 200 or the kmx 200 ,i heard they are simular......thr kmx was very popular here in the uk....dtr 125 also
I had one and it was street legal! Riding down the street and right onto the trails. If this had directionals I'd want it.
They sell the finest vintage goods at, the Kaplan museum... I've heard 🪄
Great trail bike
I’ve one.
My brother in law has one.
They’re just unlike any other.
Fabulous
