That said, on the big fire trails through the forest, flat stick and it makes perfect sense 4 strokes are definitely more user friendly.

Couple of piccies of my spawn of satan attached

I love the smell & the power delivery of 2-smokes, but as already mentioned, the 250 thumpers are by far easier to ride.

Go for it TP. So long as you don't buy a new bike, you'll be able to sell it on for a similar amount if you have a change of heart.

I had a go on a race prepared version of one of those it was insane, couldn't wait to get off it to get on a "tame" 250cc 2 stroke instead.

If you fancy a day out let me know.

I'm going to get the DR MOT'd in the next week or so, and then its all systems go!!!

The difficulty now is that they have reclassed some of the routes to restricted access, so its difficult to string good routes together.

Last year me and my mate went to Sailsbury and back ...almost ALL off road from Abingdon.

Get yourself an OS explorer map from WHSmith...the contryside is your Oyster....well some of it.

LEt me know if you fancy a couple of hours out...its a blast.

Gotta shift my Vrod (on Ebay as we speak) and I`ll pick up a KTM 525 Supermoto/Enduro again , awsome little bike and I`ll take you up on your offer..

Nice one!!!
