id recommend the yamaha WR250f, loads of us "non professionals" have them, theyre a bit less "Full on" than the KTM, and they last well too...
ive got a 4000 mile old bike thats never had a piston kit! the engines never been to bits, and not even the valve clearances have shifted!!!!.....
i will however be doing a cautionary engine strip/mod soon, but thats the kind of reliability i like... (altho Ade will tell you that mine doesnt like water in the fuel...hahaha).....
come on out anytime :-)
