[QUOTE="JCW, post: 772272, member: 38842"] I am interested in getting a CRF230 for dual sports (and converting it as needed). It is one of few air cooled electric start 4 strokes (under 260 lbs). I have three main questions if you don't mind: First, is it "fairly" close to a XR250 in power? Second, are 1st, 2nd, & 3rd gears close together, or is first a granny gear and 2nd a lot higher. My son had a Yamaha RT180 and 1st gear would climb a mountain, but shifting to 2nd was like shifting from 1st to 3rd or 4th on my KTM. It was fine on flat ground, but terrible in hills, because you always had to get back to first gear at 5 mph to climb a hill. Third- Is the suspension good enough for a 175 lb man to trail ride (not race) without bottoming out on every rut or root? Thanks, JCW [/QUOTE]
