Just to jump in on Jimmys thread I'm in a similar situation. I have the cr250 which I have regeared, added a fly wheel weight. New rear spring and Danger has done the front forks more for my style. So have settled it and made it as good as you can get for doing both the forest work and the MX track stuff. I have sold my sons Cr125 so the 250 can go go my eldest boy (or we can ride each others).
Which leaves me in Jimmys situation do I get the 200 or 250 EXC?? From what I have seen they look a little soft for Ardmore and Harrisville or do I get a 250sx, KX250 or Cr250 and take the edge off it a bit for the cross country stuff as I have done with the 01 CR250.
I wouldn't mind changing to Ktm as I would like to support the only make that looks like its sticking with 2 smokers. Only difference with me is I'm in the 03-04 bracket (having to maintain 3 bikes). I'm still leaning towards the 200exc as it has lots of power and the light 125 frame would be good for the trails etc but I quite like the jumps etc at kimis and Ardmore as well?? I'm a bit worried the 200 exc won't handle my 90kg?
Although my Cr has been bullett proof! Oh the dilemma!
