    The absolute best dirt bike is the one that you are having the most fun on, that you won't regret later.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    Yamaha Big Wheel or a Honda Fat Cat sounds like it would fit your catagory of riding style. they are perfect for trails, more stable in mud and on rocks rough terrain etc...if your not a fan of them though i would suggest a dr350,xt350,or like a yz 125 2 stroker, those bikes have all the power for the woods and are best at going through the rough stuff, and are not as radical in the woods as a larger two stroke would be.

    Your friend doesn't seem to quite get two strokes, does he? You realize they're supposed to smoke, right? Even if it's just a bit until warm.

    I miss my 2002 KDX200. The most fun I have ever had on a trail was on that bike. I'm about 205-210 and the only thing I would change on the bike would be a set of stiffer front springs.

    So was it the seal? Doesn't say anything about it being replaced. I'm with Elca here on the pricing.
