[QUOTE="Tony Eeds, post: 711214, member: 32023"] Grissom29: The EXC version of the KTM bikes are great woods weapons. The SX versions are meant more for the tracks. The MXC versions are for desert / open terrain Regarding bikes ... I am 5'10 / 165# and I bought a '02 400MXC when I jumped back in. I love the bike and still have it, but I found it to be a handful to deal with in the woods. I am getting faster on it, but still am more comfortable on my '01 KTM 200MXC that I bought this spring. I can flick it around in the woods much easier, a fact that may relate more to the fact that I grew up on a Penton and understand two stroke power better. Both bikes are tall, but you can lower the seat by modifying the rear subframe ($75.00) and take a knife to the seat foam (free). I have lower the 400 but not the 200 to date. What part of Texas are you in? There are a bunch of us here. Maybe you could hook up with us and try out a bunch of different bikes. BTW - My son weighs #225 and can ride either of my bikes comfortably. They don't lack for power. As Colman said, I would also recommend the 400 (which was brought back this year after being dropped with the introduction of the 450) as it is a short stroke engine that revs like an electric motor.
