what should I do, I know of a 87 trx 250r with a rebuilt motor, pc'ed frame and reinforced, long travel +3's with pep shocks, trx9 pipe and silencer, new reeds, stock carb, turf tamer and front rifkens on 190's, decent plastic, durabend axle, for 3g's. I was also thinking of getting a ktm 520/525 dirtbike. Which do I buy, the ktm would be bought new(not too many people who have them sell em) or the 250r. help me out here guys. I was thinking about my stable of bikes
CRF45R QUAD:+4 roll front end long travel, wlash radiator, lsr baja frame, no-link long travel swinger, elka's all aorund, vortex cdi, hyper bead locks, crf 450r motor, lsr axle
ATC250r:long rod motor, hinson cluth, cr250r ignition, soon to be 310 pv, 38 a/s, v-force reeds, lsr rear end, elka rear shock, durablue strut, aluminuim airbox, hyper rear beadlocks, rebuilt forks, short track kit, front and rear wave rotor, antifade hub, decent plastic
86 ATC200X: 350x tripples, 84r front end, works shock, 84r axle, stock motor (for now)
01 XR250R: once over bore, ported/polished, mikuni pumper carb, white bros exhaust, daul sport kit, oversize front rotor, street legal

Do you think the quad would be welcome addition or the dritbike?

heres a link to a pic of the bike

By the looks of your line-up I think your 2-wheel department is hurtin'. I say get the KTM.

well the trx might be more of it, I found a new 02 lsr baja 250r frame for 1g, and also a 265 pv from the same guy. the 265 pv will be going on the atc

I got my 250r, soon to get a 265pv, and my 200x. I'd like to get a 350x,those are hard to find around here though, and the one I know of, the guy wants too much and it ain't that nice, and it needs works. Places around here aren't to friendly to trikes, so I'm kinda stuck if I want to go riding with my friends.

KTM's are from Austria, not to be confused with Australia :-)

Dirtbikes are pretty neat, and I dont have any personal experience with the KTM's, but you've got top of the line in the quad and trike department, get it in the 2wheeler area too

Ya I see you point . I love to ride in the Woods.Most trails are closed to ATV . I have owned a few Huskys and a CR500 .Nothing like good old tight trail riding..
