Was thinking about a couple street legal dirt bikes for trail riding and looking for recomendations new or used. Nothing fancy just good enough to get around.

Looking for input.

Suzuki DRZ400, DRZ650
or
Honda XR650L

I'd probably go for the Suzuki DRZ400.

DRZ400 for sure . . .

id say a ktm, or husky.

drz's are heavy and out dated.

What size are you looking don't forget the KDX 200 two stroke
I have one I would say it might be my favorite bike

I should thinned out my bike collection afew times already but somehow I can not get myself to sell the street legal Kawie

and I am 6.2 250 pounds

TW200 baby.

washy beat me too it!!!!

how crazy of trail riding you wanna do? tw200 dont have the most suspension travel...but it cruises soooooo nice

Air down those big ol' tires and get another couple inches of travel!

Not crazy at all. These old bones don't heal like they used to.

You can't go wrong with an XR400 that's had a legal dual sport conversion done on it. They come up for sale quite a bit, and are usually fairly cheap. They can go just about anywhere, and will outlive your great grandchildren if you do just tiny bit of maintenance!!

Someday- 525EXC with a plate

One of these. The one on the right is for sale. I'm going to put dirt wheels back on it.

DRZ400 or a converted XR400... The XR400 can be found for a steal and is a great trail bike and you can still ride it pretty hard... actually real hard as many have raced it in baja once built up. If moneys no object then go KTM. The TW200 is another sweet ride for trails if thats all you have planned.

yamaha WR450's are great, geared high enough for the street and low enough for the trail

You can't get a WR street legal here in Cali. The few that have been pushed through, the DMV pulls their plates when they notice during a title transfer.

Agreed. I'd love to have one of these.

Love mine

Do you want identical bikes or will there be faster solo missions? Sometimes the more aggressive bikes feel too rigid at slower speeds.

I'm thinkin the TW200 looks like a fun little cruiser.

I have been looking at the TW200. All the people that write about them love them.

the TW impressed me this weekend. took it to mammoth wash and rode doubles right up into the dunes. that little bike will go anywhere

The TW200 is not highway legal... but a fun little bike. I have the WR250X and love it... it has a dirt bike brother, the WR250R. The power will surprise you. The suspension is outstanding and the X does amazing on the highway at 90mph. I'm looking into getting a set of dirt tires and rims for this bike just to putt around on in the desert.

you cant ride the TW on the freeway? its goes over 55....shoot the guy i bought the bike from drove it on san diego freeways several times a week for years.

I just looked it up and seems the law has changed... According to WikiAnswers the minimum is 149cc not 249cc. I was under the impression it had to be 250 and above to be on the freeway!

Here it is in the DMV handbook as well. Wonder when they changed it?
