Hmm. I've talked to former and current owners. They are way better than kdx's. Thanks for the input.

Anyway, how often will i have to change fork oil? Can i still get bushings etc fir them? Or should I look immediately for forks?

Im not a stranger to mods and swaps. Or old bikes for that matter. My son had a 1989 Rm125 as a first bike. My current dual sport is a highly modded klx 300, including fork swap.

And don't forget the GG has a super easy hydraulic clutch, not cable. That makes a huge difference out in the woods.

Hiw many hours will a top end go for?

Had a 300 top end last 140 hours, depends on the conditions.

Well paying more for it than I wanted in our negotiations. I think we're both getting a fair deal. I get it Monday.:o

Congrats and welcome to the family

I thought you were comparing an older detuned unreliable and unsorted Suzuki RMX 250 to the newer 1999 GasGas 250 which is light years ahead of the Suzuki.

If you are comparing the RMX 250 to a KDX 200.of the same era.Then the RMX wins??
Although most who are actually familiar with both.bikes would still.take the KDX.

I doubt "whoever" you are talking to is actually familiar with all.3 bikes.
Otherwise it's worthless speculation.

Well I've never ridden a gasgas, even though I just bought one.:eek:

I am familiar with both the RMX and the KDX. I only like the '96-'98 RMX. I can't believe anybody who has ridden both the RMX and KDX would think the KDX is a better bike. After I ride the gasser, I may be one of the only people on the planet who is familiar with all 3 bikes.:D We have a KDX "buddy" bike that we put inexperienced friends on.

But those are the only bikes I have riding in to compare to. I can't wait to ride my new to me gasgas!

What forks are on the '99? They are conventionals. I wont have pictures until i pick it up monday

If it still has the EC forks they will be Marzocchi Magnum 45's.
