KDX's are two-stroke moto-x style bikes, I think they are primarly off-road orientated but still road legal as they are used for enduro's. They may also come in 200 & 220cc variants. I've heard that there is one model that is either significantly better or worse than the others, possibly KDX220SR?

KLR250 - not sure, maybe just a shrunken 650? I ssume that it's still an l/cooled engine?

KLX250 looks like a small KLX650, still with a DOHC engine. There is also a 350 version which is supposedly a superior bike.

To be honest, your best option is to buy TBM. There's a lot of bikes for sale in the back & plenty of dealers advertising just about every bike you can think of. Any one of them should be able to explain the differences.

cheers, think I'm gonna go 2 stroke (KDX) Ive tried one and there great, just like my old CRM250 but with better suspension, however not too sure about the reliability as I like to get out on the lanes for a whole day and 2 strokes can take a battering as they get hot at low speads.also chers for the CX info, I didn't bother in the end and will probably be in the market for a BM or AT in the spring.
