Tom Mac Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 what no pics? I used to quite like the KMX200 but ended up with a 350LC instead and never really recovered. @Pussyhorse didn't you have KMX200? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringding Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 I borrowed a KMX200 from a mate for a couple of months after my bike was nicked. Rode it to Cadwell from Southampton for one of the frenzies. Knobblies weren't great and I dropped it at the hairpin. Great bike. Even tried a bit of green laning on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 2 derestricted KMX 125s then a KMX200 in red/black. Absolutely loved each of them. It’s why I still like big bikes with off road inspired seating positions and DNA. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 I started out on Motocross bikes, and my first roadbike was a KMX that was liberated of its 12HP shackles. Passed my test on it too, with a bald back tyre and the tax disc from a mate’s car on it 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still quite like a 200, but when I have a rummage on ebay they go for silly money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Pryde Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 I used to go to my local bike shop and dribble over an MTX200. Earlier and less worthy than a KMX200, but something about it just looked just right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to torture myself by having a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KMX made the MTX look a bit dated overnight IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Pryde Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 MTX probably stood the test of time, better., being a Honda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porter_jamie Posted October 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 I really wanted a kmx200 as a yoot. I managed to leave without buying anything as I'd only just accidentally got the gasgas the day before lol. The ns400 looked ok and he wanted 6.5 for it. Probably worth that or more. He's also got a mint yellow rd400. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussyhorse Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 They fucked up the look of the later KMXs when they added a pointless second air scoop onto the right hand side of the tank. Also later decals were horrible. The earlier simple three striped tank looked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
