Well, I’m thinking about getting a new bike this fall, and I’ve narrowed it down to a final list. I tend to ride a bit of everything, desert, woods, some MX, trail riding. I’m not planning on selling the Mini or the YZ250. (I love my two-stroke). But I would like to get a bike plated (well... not the trials bike) for riding around here. So what do you all think? And if you have any input good or bad on these bikes I’d love to hear it.

It's not on the list but our dealer has a sweet KTM 450 Supermoto conversion that's plated. It get's almost as many looks from me as I get evil eyes from Char when we stop by the dealer

My YZ250 is on it's way to Supermoto 
I know it sounds strange...
Hence the need for a new off-road bike.

That list is so mismatched....JEEZ!!!

Get a KTM 300 xcw or xc, lot of choices with KTM.

If you want to plate it, why not look at the Husqvarna TE450?

Really? A Venture? For off roading?

While you guys have listed off some great bikes, for where I'm at and what I can get my hands on that's my list. (Plus I've had truly bad luck with every KTM under a 525 that I have ever touched) The Adventure and the trials bikes are one there because some day I’d like to have those too. I’m just trying to pick what I’m going to get first.

Well, in that case I'd probably go WR450F. I'm a die hard Honda fan but it seems like the WR is pretty bulletproof where as there have been cases of valve train troubles with the Hondas. Zip-ty also makes a TON of goodies for the blue bikes.

I would say Go Blue as advised above. Not sure what is up with you and ktm's, but hey, go with the yamaha, all i keep hearing is good stuff. If I was you, I would go with the Yamie given the variables you are dealing with. Good luck.

KX or YZ nothing. I love my KX read some of the other theads on this forum where I have posted info!!

I would love to have the trials bike.........Especially if you'll be able to keep your current machine.

I think the CRF is the best all around bike in that list, it would be my first choice if I was going to buy a 4S. I really do like that bike, just don't tell the guys in the KDX forum

So when ya gonna buy..?
It looks as if the CRF has a "Commanding lead"..

Kav, you live right there among the rocks, go trials bike.
I don't even think the law requires a plate in the booneys.

I gotta say WR. Love my 05 for an all purpose bike!
