I had a Yam and a Kow before I moved to Husky and then KTM. The europeans know how to make an enduro bike that isn't a 15 year old tech throwback or a rebadged MX bike.

KTM rules the trees. Ready to race out of the box and the thumpers are easy to dual sport too.

The box said "Requires Windows 98 or better," so I installed Linux.

Just wondering what You folks prefer?

You didn't allow multiple choice. I love my KTMs, but my BRP can be a real hoot on a fireroad.

Yes, I thought multiple choice would have been better. But I didn't think of it until after I posted the poll. DOH!!! :(

Bultaco
Hodaka
Honda
KTM
Yamaha

Currently riding a YZ444F and a YZ125

I've found the Yamaha's the easiest bikes to work on.
I find the KTM's the best quality and workmanship right out of the box.
I found that riding a Super Rat means carrying a spare plug is prerequisite.
Ultimately, it was the Sears mini that hooked me....in 1969!

I have had 3 Hondas since I started riding in 2000. My bike has been down for a couple of weeks, so I have been sharing my husband's YZ125. I'm kinda liking the way the YZ feels. I seem to ride it better than my bike that I have had for 4 years. So eventually I might have to go blue. Besides he works for a Yamaha dealer...

I chose yamaha only because there was an 04 left over here and the only other dealer in town is honda who happened to have a 05 crf450. Every time I tried to talk to the guy he would walk away, even when I had cash in hand. So i bought the yamaha yz250 and am happy I did so.

I ride a suzuki cuz there is one in my garage. I imagine if there was a honda in there I would ride that too. I think someone up above me said "If it looks fun I'll try it". The orange one's speak to me, so that is what I will proably end up on. Maybe even an oil burner. Can't realy decide either way. Money comes first and I just don't have it now so the Suzuki it is. Makes still me smile when I take it out. Its approaching 12 years old now. Might be time to update :)

Seems the Red and Blue's are runnin neck and neck. I thought KTM would have faired a little better.

I expected Honda and Yamaha to lead the way. I, like you expected there to be more KTM's.

I'm surprised that there are so many Kawi's. Must be the KDX factor.

My last two bikes have been green and have treated me very well but I see an orange 300 in my future.
