    @minia I dunno, I'm just not convinced I would go down the 125 route for those sorts of bikes.

    That said, I'm a poo rider so maybe that's got something to do with it.

    I like the kick up the bum that you get from a smoker, but it gets tiresome where it makes shed loads of power, but not until the top top RPM. ,and none at the bottom.

    I feel a 250 V Twin would be my dream.

    @calum 250 V-twin for an enduro? That's a lot of extra weight... Honestly it depends on what sort of terrain you ride but when off-road it is all about the weight, 125s are less tiring thanks to the fact they weigh less. The downside though is you have a lot less torque, makes it harder to get out of difficult situations. But, well, that comes down to experience really haha

      @minia Nah, I wouldn't ride Enduro. I just simply meant for the road. Like an RGV250.

        @calum Oh right. Don't think RGVs are that common any more on the road, to be honest I don't pay any attention to them.

          I do not recomend using a DTR for enduro, you will break your wrists and genitals,

          DT suspension is terrible over chop,

          A 125 enduro is a weapon if you know how to ride it!!

          A great way to start, and plenty quick,

          I recomend looking for KTM EXC 200 ‘04 onwards

          Keep it real

            @darty not really within my budget.
            Getting a non runner as a project could be some fun though. And then run it until it blows
