[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 182676, member: 23019"] [b]Consider a KLX300R[/b] Not sure if you plan to ride in California or not by your post, but if you do you should know CA has an emissions related program where they issue a red or green sticker. It determines when and where you can ride. Green sticker=ride any of the parks that allow motorcycles anytime. Red sticker=restrictions. The KLX300 is not only a good handling and reliable 4 stroke but it is also one of the few green sticker bikes. I'm also 5'8" and this has one of the lower seat heights out there, so your confidence will be better (it's 3" lower than a Yamaha). Once you get confident on it you can add a few parts from Stroker and it is a totally different animal (headpipe, pumper carb, shift kit). The only real problem the bikes have is you should replace the idler gear with one from Stroker, which is just $85. You can even dual sport the thing later if you decide to. Check out the KLX. The only other thumper I'd buy at this point is a KTM 400 E/XC -- which is saying alot about the underrated KLX. I'm also keeping my eyes on the new Honda CRF450 to see if they come out with an enduro version (it's currently MX only), but that's a lot of bike and I need to get better before stepping up to that level.
