lets start by informing all who will be reading this post....it all started a long long time ago,this dam addiction like most who use it will end up bruised and hungry for more....which brings me to my point,I've been with out a dirt bike for a few years now and would like to get another one soon so the question at hand would be what are most of you motoheads riding in the dirt? I need help deciding on a brand, I like the yamaha and honda but then theres the new green guy, now those of you that are still reading forgive me and my A.D.D I'll try and stay focused. I forgot to tell you the readers that I've always owned a four stroke MXer and used to own a 426yzf untill the xb took all my time up. sorry for being all over the place.

I just sold my dirt bike. It's the best I've ever owned, was sad to see it go. I thought it would be weird having only 4 gears but with that much power I quickly got over it.

Only dirt bike I ever rode with more power is my brother's 1986 CR500 which is still a fine machine by any standards.

You can't go wrong with any of the big four and KTM. I notice a lot of RMZ 450's being raced in the outdoor nationals and would probably make that my choice if I were looking. Still happy with the ole KX.

Ya know, I think that's exactly what Shane was saying when the picture was taken!

Was it the duct tape that made you think "redneck?"

Dude, that was our good crystal!

We had a couple of excellent kegs of home-brew that weekend, courtesy of BadWeb's own Hootowl.

Of course, some guys just don't know when to quit...

I like to ride my DR650. Being street legal I can take it out on errands and still does ok in the dirt. It doesn't do much for power but can hit 100 if I didn't have the knobbies on it.
I wanted the DR400Z for the power and handling (also street legal). But not as comfortable as the 650.

Iamike, be sure and ride a DR400Z before you get too excited, not too peppy. 450...good!

Hmmm, liquor,coke,beer and vodka, looks like the 4 basic food groups are covered!

Having the spirit of a Buell owner, you might wish to check out an "American Dirt Bike". http://www.atkusa.com/

ATK bought the Cannondale design. ATK then improved it, refined it and seem to have created a winner.

The Cannondale motor is Fuell Injected, Electric Start and features a "Reversed" Head. The exhaust port is at the rear of the head and the intake port is at the front of the head.

They even have an annual Homecoming event!

(No, I do not have one, and I have never seen one in person)

Homestead bike is 2002 XR250, will go anywhere slow, tops out around 75 on open ground all around good clean fun. the RACE bike is a 2006 KTM 250 SXF, which is a bunch of fun on a motocross track, stone stock will outrun any thing in it's class.

CR250R here. That has been my choice of dirtbike for 15 years now. Will post a pic soon.


It's all black like the XB. I think I've got a thing for black bikes. I should see a shrink.
