handled poorly and vibrated like a diesel dildo.

Would rep. Aaron Colton can be heard in the latest MotoGeo vid saying he can't do more than 5 laps on his CR500 because of the vibrations. You've had some cracking bikes. Saw a XR650R last weekend and it did get me thinking, although slightly overkill for UK greenlanes I think.

Still maintain that a CRF250L is adequate as a plaything for green lanes.

Anything heavier than 150kg is unnecessary, and you don’t need the power. If you want to do mad technical stuff then totally go for a 100kg 2T enduro, but your maintenance schedule will become every ride.

I see people with massive bikes posting on the TET group photos of them fallen over. Sod that.

From looking online the curb weight of the 450L seems to be 15kg lighter than the 250L. It's not the off road performance I'm chasing with the extra cc, it's the composure on the road/motorway when needed. Would love a silly light enduro but can't see myself riding it much.
