[QUOTE="KMAPRO, post: 881017, member: 58215"] Thank you for the suggestions ya'll... Believe it or not, with the exception of not knowing the difference between the KTM models, I have considered and thought about each one of the bikes listed...even the Husky. I would like to add a little feed back to the comments and see if I can narrow it down a bit. I know I said I would be riding track and trail, but would probably be more track in the long run - due to the fact that most of the places I ride will be at friend's places that have tracks - but I will ride trails some too. KTM - my bike of choice for this make would probably be a MXC. I will just have to do some more research on them and learn more. I have always been fond of the KTM and always heard mostly good things. I have already talked with the local KTM dealer about parts availability should the need arise and he has gauranteed that I would not be dissappointed. Honda - It would be a toss up between a CR250 and the CRF450. I would just have to decide between strokes... Yamaha - When I first decided that I wanted to get back into riding, I was dead set on Yamaha as I have owned 2 Yammy's before (1979 MX80 and a 1976 MX125) and had great service out of both. I owned the 80 for about 8 years. My mind tells my to get a YZ250, but I have been reading alot about the WR450. I have heard - and please tell me if I am wrong - that I could get about the same performance out of the WR450 as I could from the YZF450 (with a few free mods) thus making it a very useable track bike while maintaining a good trail bike as well. Husqvarna - I looked at the Husky on the internet. I have never ridden one nor have I ever even seen one in person. Again, I had heard good things about them - especially since Cagiva bought them out. The only drawback is that there are no local dealers for them. Right now, I am really leaning torward the YZ or the WR..I am scheduled to pay a visit to a Honda/Yamaha dealer next weekend to pick up my son's bike (CRF70) - who knows, maybe I will bring home more than one.... Thanks for the info and I will check back into the KTM as well... [/QUOTE]
