what it says whats peoples experiances and thoughts i need something cheaper than the jeep and a dirt bike it is im looking at spending around 2500 what would you buy, looked at brand new kawasaki today was 7000 dont wana spend that unless my dh sells, theres not much in the shops round here so ill have to go private i think
an XR250 is probably all youll get out of 2500 grand, its no race bike but very very very very reliable, a good commuter with a nice comfy seat and run off the sniff of an oily rag....
if there was no budget then yes im with jimmy WR250F Motard or KTM 250EXC-F Motard..
4-Stroke: XR's or TTR's are pretty reliable in that price range and poke along alright. Mate has a 99 TTR that has done 35K and still going strong after a hard life (plus has electric start)
Personally I would go with the WR250F or maybe an RMX 250 in that price range for some 2 stroke accelleration!
depends on what else you want it for is you want something to fang around the bush with as well a xr is the go if you just want commuter go a small roas bike bit more comfy for long commutes and with a faring has a bit of weather protection if the weather comes in while you are at work
