[QUOTE="jruggery, post: 726507, member: 40972"] It's too bad you don't care for Kawasaki's - the KDX 200/220 sounds like the best bike for you. They are cheaper than KTM's, reliable as a stone, tame enough for play riding yet still fast enough and suspended well enough to be competitive in the C classes, and designed specifically for woods riding. As far as the XR 250, I think you might be into a little more work to get the same level of performance as a KDX. Not to say that you can't go fast on one - it is after all about 90% the rider 10% the bike. The XR is just an older, less technologically advanced design (air cooled, small diameter forks, etc.) If you were set on an XR, I think your money would be better spent on suspension mods before cosmetic stuff like black plastic. It's unfortunate that more manufacturers don't offer reasonably competitive bikes in this price range. But unless you're ready to step up to WR 250 or KTM prices, I still think you would be better served by the KDX. [/QUOTE]
