Im after something a bit smaller than my 950.
Ive had a look around and cant decide what I really want. So though Id just see whats out there that people have and want to flog.
I want something I can throw a giant loop over
Light
Something that can go about 3000 miles without a service
Electric start essential
Reliable
Budget up to about £4K.
Nothing too small, Im 6 foot 5 and 15 stone!
Will be ridden extensively off road
What I really want is a KTM 500 but think these are a tad out of my budget.....but if you have one let me know, Im pretty flexible.....
Inspire me.....

Re: Enduro wanted
Check out my CRF 250 in the classifieds.
I'm 6'3" at 14.5 stone and its been fine for me.
You'd even have loads of change from £4k to throw at goodies for it.
Cheers
Mike

Re: Enduro wanted
Mike a 500 exc late 2013 (ie 2014 model) is within your budget.
btw before some smart arse pops up and says it needs servicing ever 15 hours - it doesnt. not for trail riding, 3000 miles would be absolutely fine.

Yeah, my KTM 950 SE also says ENDURO!
Had a TE450 in the past, ace bike. And worth considering again. Good prices as well.
Re: Enduro wanted
Thanks Mike, its for a trip in August, but I really need to decide in the next couple of weeks really. I have the choice to take the 950 or smaller enduro. Id prefer something smaller TBH.Mike54 wrote:What's your timetable mike? I can ask about for you
If you can put the feelers out please. KTM500, Husky TE450 (449) or anything other suitable. Prefer something with a bit in oommmph for me.
My dad may also be joining me (Still thinking about it, the CRF 250 will be idea for him so sent the link his way).
