[QUOTE="redswr, post: 17806, member: 66"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok guys... i need to sell my bikes for finacial reasons but i've been looking for something new for a while anyways. I started out on a 1999 Yamaha WR400 and now on a 2007 Yamaha WR450 so i'm used to having a big grunt bike but in racing grand prixs and glen helen's GYTR races i've been wanting something lighter. when the 300 2t KTM came out with the electric start i wanted in bad but now i'm leaning towards a 200 since a few of the pro's have been racing it.
