[QUOTE="Dabs Alot, post: 1037419, member: 68082"] Which of these 2 bikes would make a better trail/woods/play bike? Chadwich MO type of riding. I'm 40 years old, 170 pounds and currently a trials rider that has got the itch to go fast again! No racing, maybe poker runs, FUN is what I am looking for. I have the chance to buy either in the $2k price range,both stock, both very good condition. SUSPENSION: I would guess the YZ would have more sophisticated suspension, seems most say KTM's of that year are harsh on both ends and need a revalving. But would the YZ be too heavily sprung for woods riding? MOTOR: I like a motor that does not intimidate but still puts a grin on your face. A friend of mine has '02 CRF450 and that is more power than I want, the same friend also has a CR 125, it is fun to ride and not intimidating but I want something in between the 2. I suspect either will have plenty to satisfy me, I wonder if the YZ would be intimidating, and how much a flywheel weight would help? GEARING: Will the YZ have a closer ratio transmisson than the EXC? If I would gear the YZ down for technical trails will I loose too much top end for the fast trails and fire roads? :) GRIN FACTOR: Like I said, FUN is the main goal here! Which do you think will put the biggest grin on the face of a trials rider who wants to blast the trail. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
