A buddy of mine, here @ work, has one of the 200cc models. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.kpxmotors.com/z200.html" target="_blank">http://www.kpxmotors.com/z200.html</a> It's a cute little bike. Runs smooth. Quiet and all heck. Got it cheep off of E-bay. So far he likes it. He also has a KLX250 for comparison. Now for the down side: The VIN has the dredded "3 or C" in the 8th digit. And here in Ca. that means "No licence plate & No Green sticker!" He is going round&round with the Ca. DMV trying to get it titled in his name. With hopes of getting it platted. He has an appointment with the highway patrol for a vehicle inspection. To see if they will allow it to be registered. The exhaust pipe heated up and melted some plastic part near the bottom of the gas tank. yikes! And there is funky little canister mounted next to the front brake caliper. It is inline with the brake hose. Looks like some filter or ????? WTF. I've no idea. Check you local laws. It may end up being a BACK YARD only bike. my 2 cents, too.
