bradus 311 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yamaha good bikes so are the other well known makers ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BITCH 135 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just playing mate! But honestly ktm exc very good bikes. 2 and 4 strokes but I prefer the 2 strokes. They do a 200 250 and 300 in 2 stroke, all good bikes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,587 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Id be looking at 250s .. And 4 strokes like the yammy wr or Honda xr/xlr .. If I was wanting a 2 stroke for green laning and road riding id be looking for a kmx200 , there very underated but can be easily tuned up .. But if I had a full licence id be looking at a 400/450cc bike like the suzuki drz or ktm models 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LurcherLad94 2,582 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 iv had a few 125s i recently had a DT 125 very fun to ride a nippy for a 125 plenty of bottom end power would wheelie just of the throttle without popping the clutch only thing is the bloody thing seemed to drink fuel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And the xr,s were replaced with the crf,s, so any of them would be real old and prob need work to keep right. The drz is very heavy bike!! Try picking them out of bogs!!

kanny 20,705 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I had a DTR 125 for green laneing no where near as quick as the crossers I've had.... even when opened up. but for reliability it was spot on ...I would roam much further than I would dare take a crosser Quiet to .

I prefer the older ones as you can probably tell I had a drz400e and never thought about the weight of them cause I never done nothing serious with it just green laning ..

hubbs 178 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I've had a blast at it in the past a few nice bikes out there I had a Kawasaki hated it rusted and the gearbox was a nightmare , 2 stroke fantastic but noisey and can bitch to maintain especially 250s 125s can be fantastic fun nice and light , depends on your size and build, but Honda as have been mentioned the 4 stroke seem robust and bomb proof , I love a good Husqvarna to be fair though. Lots to look at but depends what your doing with it , I've a full license so engine size is irrelevant, but I've been thinking of getting a 125 to get out on suprisingly fun and cheap . Hope that helps atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
