I'm off to Wales this weekend where we've got the use of a lot of private land with a local farmer. He's promised us an 'interesting' time (read kill the English!)

Oooh I say!!! A dirty weekend up north, what would the neighbour think?


Sounds like fun

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.
