Okay, here's the deal (help needed which bike)

[laserracer]

Thanks flying cr250 would really love to in a few weeks ..but i dont think $3500 is enough for a ktm 300exc is it ??

[laserracer]

Cheers Rupecopp.. may have to ride one now ,wow 92 kg thats light, that sounds like what i want..

[B0000M]

on that note 125's are in the 85kg range
... or cr250 at 96.6

Ride them all mate, it's the only way. And some bikes will be completley different to what people lead you to beleive, thats what I found anyway.

[green machine]

get a 250 2t, max power, minimum weight.

you will find a 250F or a 125 too gutless. im lighter than you, (not by much lol) and i find riding 250f's hard work due tothe fact that i have to ring the shit out of it to even make it move

Funny that i weigh 99 kg's and find my 250f has plenty of get up and go....and i even have a mate with a KTM 250SX who loves getting on my bike and raves about how light it is compared to his(he has an 08)....though i will admit his is a friken rocketship and i struggle to keep the front wheel on the ground...........but hey if we all liked the same bike/power she'd be a funny old world

[Ktmboy]

What ever bike you get you know that you will push it to the limit...don't ya?

So therefore the weight thing is not really the issue. The problem is fighting the damn thing all day. You don't need to struggle all day when you can spend hours at a very respectable pace and not have to stop so often to recharge, well we make excuses don't we, like "Just have to clean the googles"

How about a WR250... 4T

So options are, taking into acct budget,weight, girth and penis size..etc

KDX200...stills goes well, but will need to be modified for the penis size.
KTM200... cost hmmm. Is ya penis worth it?
WR250F...will carry said penis well
KLX300.. will carry 4 penises

CR250 ...penises ride these things

[laserracer]

yeah you hit the nail on the head probably not so much a problem with my heart.. as my right wrist..it just wants to keep twisting that throttle all the way round..soon fix the penis problem just hang it out the side as a side standson had a klx300 GREAT bike but im sure i would break it ..BUT man they are a tractor will climb up anything..kdx is easy fix just cut a foot or so off penis ktm not sure ??bit shy of euro stuff.. wr ...thinking slow im thinking yz, cr, rm, 250 with fww
and exhaust..but gonna ride a 250f first just to see...by the way nice ktm300

[Reckless]

I have 03 and and 08 200exc if your ever at the same place as me an my son!
You can do a loop on either if you want to. Both set up for 100kg ish!
The 03 was late 3k so would fit the bill for you as you can rap them like a 125 or torque them like the 300.

At Mr Moto this Sunday?

[laserracer]

Thanks Reckless sounds good mabe what im looking for

[camchain]

Rotten luck laser racer, but imagine what state the blood pump would have been in if you had been a couch spud. Good on you for not giving up - bitch slap the grim reaper and tell him to come back when you're not so busy.

From what I've read the 426 was known for it's fierce power delivery. I've ridden the earlier 400 and that thing felt like it had no flywheel at all. A bike that's more suited to trail work will help a lot but my feeling is the best way to give the old strawberry an easier work load is with less weight (sorry for the double entendre). I find the situation that gets me close to blowing a gasket is when I've had to jump off and push up a greasy rooty climb. Due to my poor fitness, if I then drop it in an awkward position I'm past the redline. Heart pounding away like a jackhammer and no energy left. Thankfully the EXC200 is almost a pleasure to flick around by hand and get going again. It keeps surprising me with how easy to handle it is. I used to think the KLX300 was light enough but there's just no comparision with the 2 tanger.

KTMboy cracked me up there. I've found KTM ownership did increase pants bulge (helps to impress the laydez), but it's really only an illusion caused by increased ball size due to excessive swelling from the hard thin seat.

[laserracer]

Cheers for that camchain, yeah really interested to ride one and see ,pity cause i really love my 426 its one awesome bike and i use to be able to handle it ok,but its more a case of it handling me now ,so im gonna try both a 200exc and a kx or yz 250f, if i hate them all i will go with a 250 2smoke yz..so i have a few options..i looked long and hard for a good 426 and i just hope my next bike is as reliable ,what i really want is some thing like a 450 that weighs as much as a 125 with electric leg that would be awesome ..but i dont think they make them and if they did it would be worth way more than $3500

I thought you wanted something lighter?

[laserracer]

yeah i did ...but im gonna have to compromise.. somewhere...and descided that a nice soft .. but heavy bike will probably slow me down a bit.. which is a good thing probably gonna do more trailriding from now on and the electric leg is a bonus.. also money , maintenance, and reliability are factors
