Haven't risen dirt since college. Used to run a Suzuki TM250 in the 70's. Now, at 63, retired, and with too much time on my hands, I bought a Kawasaki KLX230R. Mostly for trail riding, but I know it will see some track time @ Monster Mountian MX park here in Al. Wanted another 2 stroke, but the YZ250 is the only thing available in my area and at $7500 wasn't what I really needed for trail riding. At $4300 the KLX230R was perfect. Still learning the 4 stroke vs. 2 stroke. To me it's totally different riding techniques.
