After I've sold a couple of bikes I'm looking to get a smaller dirt bike for green-laning, maybe a bit of enduro and generally messing about.
I've never owned or ridden anything like a dirt bike though (see my sig for bike history) so I'm not exactly sure what is the best thing to go for. I'd like to stick to KTM, partly for reputation, partly brand loyalty and partly because I know the owner of a dealership
I figure that I want an EXC, for the road-legalness, but which one?
Do I go for a two-stroke or four? I know four-stroke engines but have never fettled with a two-stroke before. I'm looking at the moment at a choosing between 250 or 300 exc in two-stroke, and 450 or 530 exc-r in the four-stroke.
Anybody care to voice some opinions please (come on, I know you all have them )
Thanks,
David.
