Enduros

I'm considering another bike i'm keeping the vara and the xr but fancy something easier to ride on enduro's around 200 -250cc thinking maybe ktm 200exc or something similar Gasgas maybe.

What do you suggest????

Don't want to spend a fortune don't want a kx or kdx had them before many years back, good fun but to unreliable

Ktm 200/300 are good...light too being a two stroke.

I've had a good look at the LDT sites and there are a lot using GasGas tho. Dont know much about them .

Couple of guys around here use Gas gas and seem to be reliable and light, I just cant get used to 2 strokes, go for a WR250 Sod the orange stuff

I'm keeping an open mind at the moment i'll see what comes up at the right price over the next few months, i'm not in any rush as such

The Yams do sound nice and have less maintenance than the Tango man

whatever you go for keep it small and light. racing can be very hard in the begining so don't fall into the 'oh there's a nice 525 going cheap' mentality! gas gas 250/300 is a good starter bike. ktm 250 can be a bit peaky i believe but i'm a 4T man. wr250's are nice bikes but old school now. it depends how competitive you want to be? i tested the 09 ktm250 exc-f and really liked it.

Ignore em all. KTM200 or gas gas 200 is all you need and feels like a push bike next to any 4 stroke. After 3 hours you will thank me!!

Thats what i'm thinking...................................But i'm also swaying towards maybe using the Xr (as i Have done) and buying a trials bike instead purely because there are several trials locally every weekend down here and only a small amount of Hare n Hounds or enduro's.......................................... .................................................. ........
Confused now can't make my mind up... Still no rush
