Ah wow so you’re well versed. Yea. Go TRS, Beta, GasGas and you’ll know what you’re getting.
I’d love a pinky.

TRS hold their value well. It seems to be the go to bike at the moment. Beta and Gas gas seem good value for money options.
You should try one they are really good. A few choice mods are they are great. Higher bars mainly and we Upgraded to a YSS shock. We have one with the pegs moved down and back but I don't have enough time on that one to know if it's a lot better.
I dropped my bike into a big pool of water trying to do a rock step in summer and flooded it. Had to borrow my mates brand new Sherco to finish as it was the last lap. The extra power of the Sherco was nice at times but the lower sump means you hit everything that a Pinky would glide over. Really rough or rocky ground gives it an advantage and they are also super forgiving as the geometry isn't as extreme as a modern.

Nice. Lighter flywheel will help you as well if that is the case.
I had a 280 Gas Gas which was fine. I ride AMCA expert and I'm riding a 250 Pinky at the moment so it's proof you don't need all the power. You have to be really good to necessitate the extra instant power for the big steps, climbs from a standstill.
I just want something lighter. Thinking an Evo Beta. I would like to try a Jotagas as they get good reviews but the spares scare me.
