KDX-250 vs TS-200

KDX-250 vs TS-200

Postby hibster » Thu Sep 12, 2013 6:39 pm

I'm thinking of buying one of two old shitters I've seen advertised. The first is a '92 KDX-250 and the alternative is a Suzuki '88 TS-200. Does anyone have any knowledge on either bike that would help me decide on which is best to buy for steady trails riding ?? Or is it just a case of they're both old shitters so just go with the kwaka.

I'd go the kwaka just for the aftermarket availability mate. You can still get every part known to man kind for the KDXs as they have a huge following.

The TS on the other hand is an orphan. And this is coming from someone who owns a TS shitter :P

Thanks NInja Moses

I think I'll go the KDX

I didn't mean to offend...old shitter is a term of endearment for me.

Love the old stuff :kuda:

haha didn't offend at all mate, old shitters are the best fun you can have offroad I reckon.
Such a blast being able to ride something to (and beyond lol) its limits - not something the majority of the population could do on newer machinery

The stuff you are looking at are rolls royces in comparison. I''ve got the sickness bad - recently bought a 79 DT250 to go with the 81 TS185 8)

Rather amusing how quickly you can hustle old machinery if you throw caution to the wind. Helps if you are chasing a mate on a late model moto-x bike. :lol:

The poor old TS getting a hiding ;)
