The best KX 2 smoker ever made. I have a friend I used to race with in the AMP/GFI circuit through the 90's and early 2000's . As the rest of us bought bikes every other year . He refused and just kept rebuilding his and kept up with all of us. Great video Kap lots of memories. Keep em comin brother.

This bike will always have a special place in my heart. From Jeff Emig winning the championship in 97 to all the desert races Ty Davis won on it was truly a very versatile bike even in the tight woods of the south east it grabbed several championships in harescrambles and GNCC. And let's not forget what Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart were able to do on it as well. A legendary machine... worthy of its place in motocross history.

Rebuilt mine in 2000, powder coated frame black, trashed the purple Barney shit, how I regret that mistake, because now I love it. Been parked since 03. Tinkering around with it, one direction then another. Spare sss front may go on it, and old kx front may end up on iron head somehow if I ever get time. I can't get as good as I was on my 96 kx on my slightly more modern yz250. The bike just felt right, got out the gate in front of that damned 400, jumped like a bmx. You will shift, hydraulic clutch might keep your arm from going numb.

I can twll your'e taking it easy. I had a 98. Mine was built but even my buddies stock machine was extremely fast. The meat of the pwerband on the 97 and 98s started at idle. They were the best sounding bikes, great stability for high speed tracks, especially sand. I was a fast intermediate. My 01 CR 250 was slightly faster in a straight line, but not by much and that engine would wear you out. 98 KX 250 was my all time favorite motocross machine.

The only bad thing about the 94 to 98 KX 250's is the stock brakes are the worst and it feels a little top heavy compared to some bikes other than that it was a great bike! It didnt really get much better or faster than that ! Yes in 2006 I raced a KX250 and beat a brand new YZ450F to the first turn ! I just absolutely could not brake and turn as good as them the four strokes ....also I only weighed 135 lbs then!!!!!! I was not strong then at all should have been on a 1999 KX125!
