hey all! :-D iIve had the KX since last summer. i am considering a 500, but for now i like the 250 power band quite a bit. I have a 98 KX 250 w/: fmf fatty, stock silencer, pro taper handlebars and grips(diamond), uni air filter, and reed valves. I've got the fastest bike of my buddies, the only competition is a 400ex(easy race). just joined and have now got around to doing this. I live in Indiana. Anyone know any good riding locations there? All i know of is Haspin Acres and the sandy Badlands. lookin forward to many more posts!We're on the verge of a digital camera, so I'll upload a pic of the bike ASAP... 8-)

Awesome! Glad to see somebody out riding so young. Don't let age talk you down from a 500.. My cousin at age 9 had a YZ250 and had a 500 by age 12 and had also already ridden a sportbike (YZF-R1) by then and did it often. Enjoy and be safe. Welcome to the site!

holy crap man ur cousin is an animal! im thinking of street legaling the kx 250, its expensive tho and itll take a a good solid year but it can be done. im behind ur cousin ive been surpassed lol. my real goal is a 1000 super sport bike ive sat on them and love them now but also want a supermoto. my dads gettin a 99 zrx 1100 so thatll be my first big bike practice riding. And yes, i ALWAYS wear a helmet and chest protector. it feels weird w/o them.do u think i should sell the 250 and get a 500 to street legal? i dont plan on highway riding, just around town.my dad says the 250 will work fine. any comments on that?

UPDATE!well, the ZRX didnt work out(so far) because the dealer hasnt got the RR shock back from south carolina they said it should be there friday but were goin out of town to ride at KY.we live in IN. at thecycleshed there's a brand new 03 KTM 450SX for 4500$ were going to offer 3500 and see what happens.im anticipating oh 4000+tax.theres 2 other bikes 2: an 02 yz250 for $3000+tax and 60 doc or title, and a 89 250r for 2600 nice but HARD to start freshly rebuilt too(my grandpa owns it and we wanna buy it off him). oh and whenever the bike (my 98 KX250)falls on its side after its hot and i get it back up(it was SUPER muddy down there in KY last time) and tred to start it it will not. I push it back uphill and muddy to the shed and put anew spark plug in it and fires up. i ride w/ an extra plug and wrench now!but its super hard to get out and remove and tighten the plug horribly inconvenient.i found out its an easily flooded bike...
