[QUOTE="95Jersey, post: 1428245, member: 123847"] To the original posted. I am almost exactly in your situation. I have a 2002 YZ250 and are looking at a street legal enduro for the same legal reasons. Not sure what state you are in, but the only street legal KTM is the 350 EXC-F or the 500EXC. Another option is the Husqvarna TE models which come in 310, 449 or 511. I have seen both and they are nice, the KTM is VERY expensive with the 350 at almost $10k. The Hussqvarna is cheaper at $8000. The problem with many of these bikes are weight. Your and my YZ250's are super light by today's heavy 4 stroke standards. The lightest 450 MX bikes are still 20lbs heavier than our bikes at least. So going with a heavy 500 model to try and get the power delivery comparable to the YZ will only get you a complete whale of a bike that will tire your out and just be difficult on anything but tame trails. So, I have been leaning with the 300cc four stroke enduro bikes to keep the weight down, which is the priority number one. I can sacrafice 4-5hp rather than get all the weight of the big bore bikes. Another option is the TXC310. It is their more aggresive 4 stroke and is more a real motorcrosser (closed forks, linkage suspension). A dealer is telling me he can get a plate on it. If this is the case, I think this bike would be more aggressive and better off road than the street legal KTM350 EXC -f [/QUOTE]
