Message: [QUOTE="zio, post: 255743, member: 19332"] get a used KLX with all the right mods done to it (search Thumper Central), or Xr400 (heavy, though). Reliability is a very valuable thing when on the trail. I've found that performance matters a lot more when you're bench racing. Having a bike that needs repair sucks (been there). Not to say there aren't reliable Husabergs out there- or XR's or KlX's that break down- just seems to be a general consensus. I even had a blast on an old XR200 not too long ago (it sure beat sitting at home!!!). Enjoy riding. First bikes should be a source of enjoyment, not frustration. :) [/QUOTE]
