    What to get next?

    Hi All,

    Hoping for some advice on what my next dirt bike should be, currently have a DR200, and have started to find its limitations, especially in the sand (where I spend nearly all of my time)

    Any suggestions? I'm not after some 450 mxer, just a good solid trails bike for the beach and woodhill. And pref under 10k!! Although a KTM 200/300exc looks nice...

    Cheers!!

    HONDA CRF250X= GUTLESS!! id get a ktm anyday over a honda! (ever tried to start a crf250r after a small off??? goodluck!!)

    I had the 09 250 EXC-F from new to 130+ hours, gave me NO issues at all, did not need rings, not even close, had good valve clearances every check. very reliable, strong and powerfull!! e-start is very convenient on the long trails, tricky hill climbs, and river crossing mishaps etc!! ignore people who say the maintenance is excesive, oil changes are done by u. very easy.... The buy price is all relative (KTM=ready to race) I just bought and vin'd a '09 450 EXC, put some motard rims on and blat to work daily.... I have dirt rims and tyres in the shed for the weekends...

    The first thing to work out is 2 or 4 stroke?

    gutless until you do a couple of mods. like remove the exhaust restrictor, remove the ignition restrictor, jet it the same as a CRF250R... total cost about $10 and about 1 hour of your time

    then still gutless like any other 4 stroke 250, but significantly better than standard.

    and yeah, i've started a crf250, both R and X after small off's with no issues. again if your bike is jetted shit, or you have no idea what you're doing you will have trouble.

    oh, get a 2 stroke. all 4 strokes are far too heavy and gutless in comparison
