What bike should I get?

Yamaha and Suzuki have come out on top in most of the shoot outs. Go new if you can like scotty said there not much more and you get the spares and you knoe the history of the bike

KTM EXC!!! They're a little bit more but they're a heap better especially for trail riding and the odd cross country type event etc. If it is looked after and serviced regularly etc there wont be a problem. There is one piece of advice i have for people who are open to looking at all bikes and cant decide. Just go out and ride a KTM for a while, you will soon see why there are so many loyal customers and you'll finally understand what this whole orange bike craze is all about. Every person that i have said to just try a KTM has ended up purchasing one and i've yet to see a person who after purchasing at KTM go back to something else. Theres just something about em!

ONe bad thing I heard about teh KTM's is the sharp steering angle tends to end up in you taking regular trips over the front of teh bike. is this true?

If you fall off way too much, you are trying too hard.

The sharper steering angle makes them turn very well, but they can get a little unstable at high speeds, thats why some people fit stabalisers. But its not really a big deal unless you're doing heaps of real open and fast riding.
