I don't think you fully understand how it works here in US of A. Step one in selling any bike is to first buy the new one. Step two is telling your wife you are selling the first one once you know the new one is going to work out. Step three is to keep them both.

I went from a 2002 DRZ to a 2001 300exc. I know it's not a four stroke but with the right power valve tuning you can still lug up hills and through rock gardens etc. The only down side is no easy way to get a street tag and premix. I loved the DRZ for what it was and hated it for what it wasn't.

I was thinking about that. But only if my son starts to ride. Otherwise no, I don't have really a place to store it and don't want to have a burden if I don't really need 2 bikes.

I have a 300cc 2T in Latvia. I like it pretty much, but if I buy a new bike, I'll go for a 4T. I've never had a real 4T enduro bike and need a comparison :cheers:
