[QUOTE="R-Dubya, post: 17827, member: 328"] Hmm :thinking: you could always look at a KTM 250 smoker... the 200 is a peppy little bike, almost like a mini 300. Really good luggability and a good amount of power, but not overwhelming at all. The 250 will be the most brutal out of all of them with the big smoker hit, the 300 will be more like the 200 but with a LOT more power EVERYWHERE. You can get yourself into trouble quick with a sloppy throttle hand on a 300 :smirk: I'd like to say keep street and dirt separate, but that's just my personal views. High performance RFS engines aren't made to last, plain and simple. With a few gearing changes you could make it a bit less strenuous on the engines, but a 450, or in KTM's case 525, is no DR-Z or XR. Maintenance will probably catch up eventually. Can't really recommend anything as far as street goes because I have no experience there, maybe Race will be able to point you in the right direction, as long as his lawn chair is facing the same way :smirk: [/QUOTE]
