doh my 6 year old wants to know why I came home smelling and looking like I had been riding through Guaccamoli??

Going to have to get something with an electric leg... before mine falls off!!!

Thanks to you all for putting up with the orange pop - pop, and the old git trying to stay on it!

Any one want to buy a nearly new 2003 KTM EXC 200?????
(Must be super fit and have a 37" inside leg... ideal for enduros)

Good day out - thanks to Andy and to everyone else.
Well done to David - that was a tough day out for a less experienced rider on a superlight enduro 2 stroke with a worn knobbly!! Hope your ankle isnt too bad.
How much do you think you might want for the KTM? I may know someone who wants it.

Tim did you say your bike had a 350 kit in it. How does that compare to the 400 in terms of Bhp, weight etcconfuseconfusebiggrin

Glad you got home OK David. Ignore the TTR's as they are expensive to repair when they go wrong - sorry but that's true. Have a look at the CRF230 Honda Cap'n Paul reckons this is the best Trail bike out there and I agree. If I could borrow one I'd probably swap my CCM for it!

To be honest Phil I couldn't tell you exact facts and figures about the engine. The manual says 250 chassis has a minimal amount more suspension travel, so is slightly taller, but apart from that they are exactly the same. The 400 is about 10 kg heavier, although I've ridden a couple and they didnt feel that different to mine.
The other main difference is the close ratio gearbox in the 250. Whereas mine whips up through the gears almost as quick as you can change them, the 400's seem to have longer lazier gearing - bigger gaps between the gears , so it hangs on to them for longer. To be fair mine is fairly low geared externally - flat out at 65 mph.
I'd also say the 350 engine is probably a little more liveley than the 400 - mine definately feels a bit sharper than the 400, especially now Justin has properly sorted the carb conversion for the 350 kit. As far as horse power goes I couldnt say - I'd take a wild stab in the dark at 30 bhp.

Fixer, just seen your signature, good one. i think it ranks as a really apt TVTR (trail rider's) motto. Or did I miss something already, have you writ this in latin and got it included in the group's coat of arms?
Sorry to have missed the day out.
