the bikes<br />
2003 Kawasaki KDX220SR and<br />
2000 Honda XR250R<br />

ESPITE THEIR AGES both of these bikes are more than up to the<br />
job and way better than the enduro bikes available 30 years ago<br />
when the Circuit des Pyrenees was last run (discuss). Their similar<br />
specifications on paper belie the fact that they are chalk and cheese when<br />
it comes to riding. There are the usual two-stroke v four-stroke differences<br />
when it comes to power delivery and in the case of our KDX it wasn’t<br />
standard, from new it had been treated to an aftermarket exhaust and a<br />
heavier flywheel. What overall effect this had on the power we’d be hard<br />
pushed to tell without a dyno but one might assume that they could be self<br />
cancelling depending on what else might have been done to the motor.<br />
Standard power is weighted in the KDX’s favour, 36.8hp to the XR’s 30hp.<br />
The KDX gets it with in the dry weight category too but surprisingly only<br />
by three kilos.<br />
