I was thinking an old TL could be good. The enduros are just too tall and 'tippy' up a big climb, particularly for a nupty like me. I did like my old XR200 though.Quote:

Saw them in action at a display in town many years ago. Astonishing where they'd go with someone that knew what they were doing in top..Quote:

Mint, cheers. Gonna get one and stick a tray and shit on the back. Should be light enough to go over fences etc.
I used to try to get my DRZ out into the bush but I'm pretty short so as soon as I hit technical stuff it was a game of luck. Now I have a g650gs and I can go slower with my feet out but the bike is just too heavy to go anywhere better than a quad track. I am yet to find a bike I can use for both road and trail that matches my height. Maybe I'm meant to have 2.
2 is the absolute minimum allowed - remember you were born with a gap between your legs to put a motorcycle thereQuote:

I run an XR250 and used to use a 200, The 250 is a tad heavy but more comfy in rough tussocky shit, I added a fork brace, made a huge improvement to the handling. I always liked the look of these FX Bikes Mountain Moto developed in chch? The early ones were 110cc I think with a 110 honda low ratio set up they would be pretty capable, 60kgs is half the weight of an xr250, a xr200 is about 100kg
The Sherco 290 is 68 kg
