Considering adding to the garage in the form of a new trail bike. Currently run a Berg 390 which will be staying, but looking back at past rides the bikes I remember most fondly were light two strokes - Yam WR200 and Gas Gas EC 200. With that in mind I've been looking at what's available currently and am warming to one of Beta X Trainer, KTM Freeride (350/250F), Gas Gas Ranger - probably in that order.
Not bothered by range too much as I ride with Gasser 200's so 55 miles and they're hunting for fuel anyhow. I like the idea of a lower, lighter bike I can 'handle' confidently as opposed to a full on enduro on stilts. Will be lent to my lad too so friendly power delivery a plus..
Is anyone running one of the above? Thoughts, issues etc? Cheers..
