You're British, you crave disappointment. It's how we function Laughing

I can't think of anything, other than the fact it sort of looks the part. Probably will be not much different to a CBR 125 with knobblies but with higher ground clearance, possibly stronger wheels? Longer suspension, and needs less work to prep for how you're describing.
:


Ground clearance, exhaust up and swept away, sorta bash plate , and wire spoke wheels will help a lot, bit more give.

Riding position standing up would feel more natural, than say my CBF125 which is pigging awkward as I have to squat. Didn't stop my friend using his though....

I doubt spoked wheels will affect the ride - if they do, the suspension is massively off.
Hit a rock and it'll bend rather than fracture however.

Way before it was vlogged, I took my race-spec zx9 with Supercorsas down a muddy green lane and did ok.

Quite a few XR250s selling for under £1k in usable condition on ebay.

I'd leave the CBTer worries to another day and go for one of them, along with a spare set of wheels.

Here's my Vara and a mates Sinnis, he's on standard Chinese road rubber, we did OK, but it was summer, we stopped off at Burton Dasset there but we were laning all day. Thumbs Up
