[QUOTE="Blck64, post: 225905, member: 5116"] Hi guys, I know my question and bike requirements may be quite unusual, but I want to get back to my hobby that I abandoned 10 years ago and I hope you will be able to help. I spent some time in the past with Derbi 125 two stroke (and last years with bandit 600 and r1). I decided to go back to offroad/mx riding and to prepare and take part in one of the biggest enduro races in Europe in the next 4 years. Currently my budget is quite tight - 1500€ for the bike (it will be better in two years - end of mortgage, I have separate budget for the gear). What would you recommend that will be great for moderate mud, steep rocky/sandy uphills and some technical trial rocky parts of the quarry? I will ride twice a week in forest/quarry and 2-3 times a month at MX track. Because of my small budget I can not afford an Enduro bike (they are around 2200€), I probably have to choose something from motocross bikes from early ‘00s. The easiest to get at this price range will be Suzuki RM 250 and Yamaha YZ 250 - how will it manage in such terrain? Do you recommend anything else? [/QUOTE]
