Here's what I want
<200 lbs
mostly dirt bike, 30% street bike
Enduro style OK, but want a badass motor (swap?)
older and cheap
2 stroke greatly preffered

got myself a KE100. its pretty cool, but no title, no lights, no legal. Also, needs more offroad badassery.
What other options are out there?

hard to search for this shit, especially from the 80s

40+ hp out of 125 cc is pretty neat...

If you're implying that a "real" motorcycle is the only thing worthwhile, I think you're missing the point. Take your gsxr off some sweet jumps yo!

Post by: dvst8r on November 04, 2011, 11:28:56 AM: Dual sports are as gay as aids. I have owned several, never again. Far better to just have a dirt bike.

I have had:
XR650
KTM525
DRZ400

I currently have a KTM 300. Best decision I ever made for bikes was to get this and ditch the 525.

Your argument is invalid.
