[QUOTE="nephron, post: 955721, member: 23759"] This whole 'adult on a 4 stroke mini and spend a million to make the 4 stroke mini slightly slower than a stock 2 stroke mini'--thing has got me bustin' my balls laughing. I have no idea why someone would want to drop a groggy thumper motor with a 400 pound flywheel into a modern 2 stroke bike frame, except (as above) to use it as a pit bike with a great suspension. I've got a KLX110, and can tell you that it only shines when you're on pavement, or at LEAST hard pack. Get on sand, and you can't even get off it and walk it along wide open. No exaggeration, either. Huge cast crankcase, low slung center of gravity and tires that look like they came off a KLR650....I'm just a little miffed because I always loved the bike until last weekend. I'm teaching a dialysis nurse how to ride. Took her down to the river area, which included segments of sand trails and a sand bed....to say it was a bit of a workout to keep it a) upright and b) going straight, is an understatement. Won't be doing that again. The TTR125LE that I was teaching her on is a bit better, no doubt because of frame geometry/size of the bike by comparison....still just a pit bike. A great one, and not bad in technical stuff, but given a choice between my 500 and it for a day of riding under any conditions....criminy. The TTR is also very good for giving little ones rides up front (helmets and pads, of course) around the yard, or putting through a lazy neighborhood. I just would like someone to explain why you'd take a 110 thumper, put huge dollars into it to make it relatively fast, and take it to a mini motard or mx track for an adult race when you could take a stock 65, add no dollars, have twice as much fun and be faster. What the hell is going on around here? :think: [/QUOTE]
