The KDX 200 of 1986-88 is an air-cooled two-stroke enduro with a KIPS-style power valve borrowed from Kawasaki's 125 motocrosser, which improves low-end pull and top-end power. It gained chassis and suspension updates from the KX125 and a front disc brake. The reviewer found it a light, nimble trail bike with strong value for its price.
