Hey guys, Jake here!. I'm 16 and I ride green!  :mrgreen: Haha, you already know that but here's my story. I started riding around the age of 5 with my Dad on a Honda ATC 125. Then when I was about 8 or 9 I got my first bike, a Yamaha PW 50. After We moved from the city-ish out to the country, my Dad bought me a Kawasaki Bayou 250 utility ATV. I had long sold my PW 50 and was waiting to get a new dirt bike. My dad surprised me in the summer of 10" with a brand new 2009 KLX 140L 4-stroke. We have about 100 acres between my parents and my sis full of trails. Now here's where the KX comes in. Before I was born my Dad bought a 1991 KX 250 in about 94". I always sat on it while I was little and he occasionally took me on it. in 2012 or 2011 I got my first ride on it. That was my first 2-stroke I rode by myself. I was impressed...until I rode a 01 YZ that had compression and good rings in it lol. the KX smokes...a lot and has a bad rear hub. Ever since I saw his KX as a kid I fell in love with the KX line and Kawasaki's in general. I don't like my Dad's bike do to the fact of the weird seat curves from the 90's and the fact im only 5'6  :x I'm thinking of giving up my KLX 140 thumper and get a KX of some sort for the woods. Any suggestions? Thanks guys and remember..... RIDE GREEN OR GO HOME! Haha  :-D

love the enthusiasm, always loved green as well but i'm not only directed towards kawi however. sometimes you can't forget about other brands or else you'll be like a metal mulisha bro at the track that says nothing will ever beat a (fill in bike brand)

welcome to the site buddy, nice to no longer be the youngest guy on here.

If your looking for a kawi built for the woods i'm sure everyone on here will agree with me on this, the Kdx is the ultimate weapon in the woods. however you are 16 and based off my past you'd rather be on a spunky aggressive bike VS a mild less aggressive trail bike. But HEY lucky for you the world is filled with awesome motorcycles and it dosnt really matter what you pick, theres some guys on here that ride there kx500 as a trail bike, kx250s kdx's ect ect.

My opinion find a bike you like and make it into what ever you want.

like i said, does not matter what the bike is, it's all about the rider/bike relationship haha
