Yea the KTM “ Keep Taking Money ” 2-smoker is definitely going to give you double the power and a greater top speed, at a fraction of the weight. I believe that you really need luck on your side to get a good one and not a Monday or a Friday bike, and must be willing to throw money at it until it feels like good money after bad.
Is the weight of a CRF450 or a DR-Z400 + big Acerbis tank out of the question?
pdlouche-
I'd subconsciously not considered a DRZ400's due to them being so popular, but there has to be a reason why they're everywhere. From what I gather the DRZ400 is heavier than a DR350 but also has more power, so more pondering required. To be fair if either was for sale locally I'd probably consider it.

Thanks a lot! Some road riding seems possible then.
This sounds more encouraging actually, some WR250F owners online have said they can't get past 60mph with standard gearing, or without the headers glowing red at traffic lights.
