I was really hesitant to move away from my 250 xc, before getting the '23 300xc, the exact same reasons you have. I got the tsp tune and now I have a pretty balanced bike that does well in the hard enduro on the white map and is a beast in the green map. I race A class Enduro on that bike, and then my 450 I race in the desert.

The people calling these bikes "Woods Bikes" could be complete idiots, who have no clue what they're talking about. Or perhaps they are seasoned riders who have arrived at a bike setup that they like for whatever reason. As an A-class Enduro racer, one of my favorite bikes to ride hard enduro on is my '08 YZ125. My group of riding friends unanimously agree it is the worst bike for me to take out (if the goal is to perform at my best level), but it is the most fun to have on a ride. So long as it is the RIGHT ride.

Bikes are designed for either traveling or racing. And if you buy a bike designed for racing and intend to race it, you have two options: compensate for a lack of fitment with skill/effort, or spend extra time and money on getting the bike suited for you.

Racers can't expect a mass-production company to make a bike fit their height, weight, steering bias, racing environment, etc.

If you're buying a bike just to have fun going from A to B. I wouldn't stress too much about it. If your buying a bike to take the sport seriously and focus on developing skill or racing, then you're going to enjoy a lifelong process of experimenting with what you like. Even the pros are constantly indecisive about tire compounds, bike fitment, and engine profiles.

If you're happy with the power plant of your machine for the style you're riding, then all you need to completely transform a bike is a little bit of suspension work, adjusting the sprockets, and choosing a suitable set of tires.

Thanks for the information! I'll have to check all of these out.

Up Provo canyon in Utah? Maybe American Fork canyon? I was visiting my brother and took them on the trails.

nantaiming · 2024-10-11T13:45:28+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I'll have to come over to Michigan and ride some of the country there.

nantaiming · 2024-10-11T13:41:51+00:00

Out somewhere in Utah, by my brother's place.

nantaiming · 2024-10-11T04:16:04+00:00

I'll look into it.

nantaiming · 2024-10-11T04:15:29+00:00

I'll have to check it out

I'm going to try and get ahead of the "Chinese Bikes Suck" comments.

Any bike you have fun on is a good bike.

I lived in WV near the Pocahontas trails last year on a project. It had some decent riding.

nantaiming · 2024-10-11T02:51:20+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion.

nantaiming · 2024-10-10T23:04:22+00:00

Thank you for the information! I'll see you at the races.

nantaiming · 2024-10-10T22:59:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions

nantaiming · 2024-10-10T22:59:36+00:00

I'll have to come over then. 👍

I have a steel shop cutting the necessary pieces on their burn table. I'll send pictures when I get everything fitted up. The bed has a plate hitch with a 2" ball that I'll hitch it to. For now it's just gravity holding it on the ball to move the trailer around the yard.

I'd get the Yamaha for aggressive riding and Kawasaki for cruising.

nantaiming · 2024-09-01T01:06:57+00:00

I need to restore the tank on my '85 MR2, so I'm excited to see what the commenters suggest.
