I think I would have ended up in a wheelchair if I bought any two stroke back then. I was going to get a 200/250, then the 500 later.
I was nowhere near strong enough back then to handle it. Hell my gf’s 2019 ktm 150exc would have been too much for me back then. My 2020 ktm 300exc is way too much bike for me now haha. But it’s a lot more fun than all the other farm bikes and in the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t much more expensive than them. If I need to be on a bike half the day, everyday, I may as well be on a nice one.
I will say that riding such a crazy dirt bike a lot has really been a game changer for my mtb skills, and physical condition. I wish I had cross trained with one a long time ago.
