Posted: 21:33 - 13 Sep 2007 Post subject: Road legal, 125 enduro |
|
|
Right, im sick of my shit heap suzuki cruiser thingy and fancy trying a bit of enduro/green laning malarky.
I have had a bit of a gander on the interweb but with no avail.
What i am after is a 125cc, road legal enduro bike. Capable of light offroad and green laning while not sacrificing to much road worthyness.
KTM's are nice but they don't seem to mention anything about road legalness on their site, there is a kawacrappy dealer near me so i am gonna go have a gander and speak to them about prices etc.
But i am totally new to the offroad biking world so any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi Matt,
no buy the DT, you will thank me for it.
Put the two side by side and you'll see what I mean the DT is built right, the XT125 is pure crap. Simple things set them apart, the DT has an old fashioned speedo with a cable these work. The XT has a digital arrangment with a speedo sensor, these break for a hobby.
The DT is a much bigger (and better looking) bike, but being a two stroke its as light as the XT, if you pass your test a derestricted DT will give 25-30HP an XT cannot be de restricted.
If you go off road on an XT125 you'll snap the shock, go off road on a DT and you'll get muddy and have a laugh.
I know a bloke with a 2 year old DT that has 16K on the clock. It has never broken, economy if that's an issue a DT should give 50 to the gallon at least - an XT about 80-90, however you'll need the money you save on petrol with the XT for the bus fares when it breaks.
cheers! Adrian. |
