Some amount of the big BMWs on the road now, brother in law bought a new one in 2020 and he's currently in Spain on it, cost a small fortune buying bike, panniers and all the other extras he got. 

My mate got one kitted out , £15k , although he's had bikes forever , most whom come unstuck has a mid life purchase, I liked the idea until I did a CBT and thought feck that lol

like you say they do the job id just rather go japan makita rather than go chinese for dewalt and milwakee 

Milwaukee pisses all over makita stuff. I work in heavy industry and all I will use now is Milwaukee gear drill, grinder, impact gun. 

Had makita, dewalt and Hitachi and they have all failed. Been using g Milwaukee stuff now for 14 years

I do like my makita site radio though.

I've had loads of dirt bikes in the past Including a cr500 and I have to say the 89 ktm 250 was far superior in every way,  when I took it to my rebuild guy who had never worked on a ktm he was blown away by the quality of the engine, all that said the most reliable bike I had was a yammy DT 125 but that's not strictly a dirt bike, being honest all the 2 strokes were pretty awful for reliability if you were pushing them hard.

Them 2 strokes require alot of attention, but God there good to ride. 

The RMs require a clutch every 6 hours of racing

there proper bikes the 450 4 strikes you can open right out back end twitches and the front lifts but they don’t stretch your arms like a 2 stroke

My brother bought his 13 yr old a CRF 250 yr before last...one go up the Field Xmas day...comes back,throws the bike on the floor....says to his dad..'that wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding' I want a 450

My brother buys him one...he sold it few weeks later and bought an electric push bike... ungrateful little scroate

You must never of rode a 250 4 stroke round a proper mx track mchull because on there they're plenty fast enough and would leave a kx 100 for dead. 

If it's just riding round the green or the estate then aye probably feel a bit sluggish. Lol.
