I am thinking about getting a new '03 KX250. Anyone out there have one and care to comment on it? Details?
Thanks,
Mike

It's the best KX I ever rode. I owned a 98, 00, 02 and 2003.
I always like KXs but the old model wouldn't turn that good. This one is the ****, it corners like nothing else and still have a great staight line handling. The power is very good, altough still not as good as the GREAT 1998 motor. Suspension is also very good but a bit soft for heavier/faster guy.
I rode a lot of bikes, (YZ, CR, RM...) and this is one of the best bike I've been on. Go for it, you won't be dissapointed.
BTW, if you want to save a lot of money, I'm selling mine cause I'm getting knee surgery (ACL reconstruction). I'll be out for 6 months and when I'll be ready to ride again, the 2004 will be out. AND YES I'm getting another KX.
Let me know if you want more information or if you're interested in buying my bike. (It's still showroom condition and I'll sell it for pretty cheap)

Well from only 2 outings I have had with the 03,concussion the first time,and dislocated elbow the 2nd time I will give a brief input.The motor does not come off the bottom like the 00 and 98,but their is still plenty their. You can feel the transition into the mid more than the 00 and 98. The pull up top is about the same. Excellent clutch pull typicall kx also great shifting I never did have a complaint with the 00 shifting like mags say,infact I like the shifting characteristics better than the cr's.The cornering is so much more accurate than previous years,it allows you to be more aggressive in the corners. The rear, plush as usual the front feels a little harsh to me ,but I only had 2 outings.I have noticed the 03 can really stick a flat corner.
