[QUOTE="NM_KDX200, post: 1112909, member: 38052"] Pretty astute answer- you're almost reading my mind! I've been thinking about a 144 kit for awhile. Reliability is VERY important in my book. I manage and maintain 4 pickups, a Suburban, a back-hoe, a tractor, 2 generators, 2 stock trailers, 2 flatbed trailers, 3 utility ATVs, 90 miles of barbed wire fence, 7 windmills, 8 tanks with floats, 3 kids, a house, a wife, and 2,000 head of yearling cattle. I don't mind doing routine maintanence on the bike, but when it comes time to ride, I want the bike to be ready. That's why the KTM brakes and fork seals are kind of frustrating- they get mushy and start leaking while the bike is sitting on the stand. Which classes? Age classes- I'm 44 so I can ride the vet class. I'm only racing once a year or so anyway, and it's not like I'm in contention for the Nat'l Championship or anything, I'm just doing it as a challenge. And the races I've done are 2 hr. Hare Scrambles where endurance is more important than sprinting speed. Last one I did (last year), I rode my KDX200. 90% of my riding, though, is done as play-racing at the local track- we don't even have official races, just "open track". I think I'll take the KTM down to my local-ish dealer and put it on the floor. He does consignment for just 10% and if it sells, great, if not, that's fine too, I'll take it back in the spring.
