Yeah I would agree David, this is my second. She has a 272cc kit and a good set of forks and shocks which IMO makes a bike. Am only a steady laner, used to be mad but then I got a job and lost my bulls. But its fun and a bit different :)

Never had 250 but I had an xr650r was good for everything. Just sold my ktm 450 exc that I turned in to a supermoto it took an absolute hide in driven like it was stolen every where. also had varius road bikes tbh had quite the collection for being 18 and had most when was 17.

Certainly love these period enduros, my brother had a xt350 not long ago, was such a laugh and so easy to ride.
I have always wanted an xt500 after seeing them on James Bond lol

The XR is what the young lad in Terminator 2 rides. I know all the stunts were done on a bigger bike of the same model as the stunt guy was bigger in person so as to keep everything in proportion. I think the stunt bike was a 100cc, what smaller ones are available? Correct me if Im wrog on this.
By the way, Im hoping to do my bike test this year before they change all rules and regs again!:mad:
