    I want a 2 stroke now. i love the power and their lack of weight of a two stroke.

    Hi XR-Rider
    You gonna have to change your name

    You will be back to a 4 stroke sooner or later
    Everyone needs to own a XR at some stage

    Good luck on finding a new bike

    Thanks man. i like the low down power of a four stroke but i've gone soft since i went to a four stroke. time to go back to a real bike. might be a while before i get another, there is nothing on trade me at the moment and nothing in the t&e, guess ill just have to wait

    at least the xr doesnt dump roost all over the poor mug behind you like your cr80 did..... just make sure you never stop right behind my wr

    Hahahaha theres a simple way to avoid the roost aye............I dont think i need to explain
    Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses

    The Xr roosts awesome, just needs a front brake to hold it. 6 gear makes for some high and long roost. I miss the light weight and power band of that little CR

    hi,id recomend the kdx and the wr 200s or the kdx220 fantastic bikes
    and plenty of them 4sale at good prices [perhaps not so much the wr200]
    ive owned kdx's and any 'H' model [1995 onwards] in well maintained
    condition would be a good trail/enduro bike, ive also ridden a wr200
    fairly extensively and theyre also a great bike,they have better suspension
    than the kdx but only marginaly, and the yamaha has a slightly smoother
    power delivery.im currently looking for a kdx220 myself

    A few years ago i rode my dads DT200, i liked that, it is the trail version of the WR. I can't find any good condition bikes like what im looking for in my price range so i might have to wait a while till i get one
