Advice wanted about what bike to buy

[gwynfryn]

you are wrong about the KLX450 and CRFX , we do not get the aussie models, and they are not registered with LTNZ when they come in, they are almost impossible to register here,

Thats what I told him earlier #22

If you take one of these bike and get it on the road you will need run rubbish road legal tyres and getting a light bike wont matter. A light bike with road tyres will be rubbish in the sticky stuff anyway.

Towbar and trailer with the money you don't spend on the bike. Demo was 8400 before negotiation and then you can take it further from home when you want a change from the local spots. Theres some fun enduro organised events to try no doubt.

Probably not what he's looking for ...

As he said in the first post,


'I like the idea of two strokes, purely as I grew up on Honda CR250s and the like. I love the buzz of a two stroke, and do not intend to ride hard out for hours and hours at a time, due to my age, and fitness level. Just a fun bike, to put a smile on my face, that can be ridden off road, with no racing in mind. Was thinking the KTM EXC300, but sadley 10k will not buy me one brand new. '

There is your test ride and likely you could take it away for 8k afterwards.
