I started with used bikes, I went through two Honda XRs. I had a XR200 and an XR250, they are great bikes when you don't know what you are doing, lol. They're not too fast so you can't get in real trouble and they handle pretty good for older bikes. XR200 bike has a low seat height. They make a new one CRF250F that's around 5k that's supposedly similar to and xr250 but that bike will be a little taller. I had a lot of fun on those bikes before I got an expensive KTM and then I went 2 stroke with I love. Anyone else want to chime in? You can also get a new bike and they make a lowering kit. My current bikes is a 2023 KTM 300 xc-w TPI. I also really like Yamaha TTRs my wife has TTR 230 and before that she had a TTR 125 big wheel, both bullet proof fun bikes!

@@ridemdirtbike1865 thank you so much! I'll look into these bikes.

@@N1GHTM4REgta I hope you get a bike and get into it, it's the funnest thing! It's all I think about it!

I didn't see you at the race.

@@ridemdirtbike1865 unfortunately there was a last minute need for me to cover Sunday for work

Yeah the transfers can be tough! I think some of this is the 3rd test because at the end we go through an emergency check at the very end. I'm just figuring out closed Course Enduro, confusing to me, haha

The video starts less than a mile from this test and maybe covers two tests. The whole enduro was 45 miles including the transfer sections and the tests. This is the second test but after a very long transfer so maybe we are 20 miles in? The guy riding in front of me told the race officials about the guy with the broken bars, his row number and that he was 3.5 miles into this test. Yeah, his bars snapped in half maybe the mounts were broken too? Not sure. The guy felt sure he could fix it with some tools to ride out. So he was either towed out or he rode out but he definitely got back to his vehicle with his bike.

I dis that race in 2016 when it was 56 miles it's a day bummed I didn't do it this year but I've haven't raced since 2020 due to injuries and I wasn't feeling confident that this was the one to return to racing in!

@@bigcat5781 I started doing these sprint enduros in 2021 so I'm not sure but it probably was.

Yes anyone can ride it, you will need a ECEA day pass but they can sell you that at signup, $5 or $10 for the pass. Go to the ECEA website and look at the Enduro schedule.

@@ridemdirtbike1865 thanks brotha! I’m pretty sure I’m not very far away from that place and would love to jump on that next year

@@Thankful-l8c Yeah! Do it! It's super fun and great people!

It's in central New York State somewhere near the Pennsylvania border but it might have been a one-off, it's not on the D4 schedule this year.

I'll check it out!!!

Grand Champion!!! Sick!!!

Tusk Talon with Tubliss system

@@ridemdirtbike1865 Nice, how do you like it?

@@trentpiersall.668 I like it! It's hybrid so good traction but if you ride on the road it will wear quicker.

@@ridemdirtbike1865 yes for sure, i like the Dunlop AT81EX but it wears super quick even in the dirt. I run bibs never tried the tubliss system just because of still potentially getting a flat.

@@trentpiersall.668 I haven't tried those. It looks like you're faster than I am from your video. The Talon does roll a little in fast turns with 9-10 psi, a little squirrelly.

There was a lot of rain the day before, that kept the dust down, I was told.

It was awesome!

I was row 26! You're probably in this video passing me, lol.

@@RichardMatherStudio 27C myself

Yeah, it was hot! But still super fun! Thanks Preston! We missed you man! I'm excited for IDR!

Yeah, 300 XC-W TPI

Super senior C, morning race. We got all the rain, lol.

Next time we should find a line near these guys! All the fast guys can do their thing and we’ll just pick our way through and help each other get unstuck 🤣

You got me out! Thanks again! You even told me not to take that line but my front wheel wanted to go that way, lol.

Yeah, the GoPro can't capture the altitude accurately. It was rough! I was very happy to finish, lol! Sounds like you know how tough it was.

Yeah you did! It was fun!

Yeah, it was sooooo slick!

No problems on the pass! I need to learn to "whoot" like the guy who passed both of us. I'm only 4 years of riding D4 so I have a lot to learn. By the way, you helped me pull my bike out of the mud in test2, lap 2 so I'm forever grateful! Keep doing D4 events!!! Thanks man!

@@RichardMatherStudio Oh, that was you at the end! That mud sucked--happy to have helped since another guy helped me. See you at the next one!

How tall is the 250 the same height as a full size or same height as the 200

honda said the atc 200 had 12.9 hp

I blew up an Xr200

Literally just stopped and died

5 and 6th gear have absolutely no pwr at all they are like overdrive gears

But it was a blast to tool around on

I ride 2 strokes as well, but the xr is a dependable bike....I own 2 bikes an Rm 250 and an Xr 200r one needs a top end rebuild can you guess which one?

I have a 95 XR250R, a 00 XR400R and an 01 XR650R. These bikes are legendary. The 650 is the stuff of nightmares, if you are not used to the power and weight lol. I had a choice between a mint CR500, or the 650. I took the easier to control option haha.
