KDX 200 or a KTM 200

UPDATE...  Well I tried...  :-[ I'm disappointed to say he bought an 07 YZF 250.  :o I tried to explain the issues, but in the end he wanted a stroker...  Sorry guys I tried but some people have to learn the hard way...

I did take it for a spin up and down the road...  this was my 1st ride on a 250F...  I was not impressed.  I like a little kick in the pants when a smoker hits the powerband..  Yes the power is smooth, but to me boring.

Oh well to each his own.  I'll stay on a smoker.

Its probably not as bad of idea as you think because it could be a great bike for relearning how to ride and tackle obstacles without having to worry about power band. And I know what you mean about 250f`s when I had my cr 250 I had a race with a local enduro pro around our enduro track and yes he did still beat me but we swapped bikes afterwards and I had a go on his 250 sxf, the most boring thing I have ever rode but atleast it let you focus on the track rather than your bike.

A newby on a 250F shouldn't have too many problems.
It's only when you rev have the crap out of them (racing) that things turn south.

Yeah, but like it was said, some people have to learn the hard way. Not to mention, the sooner it blows, the sooner he can move on to a smoker  8)

That sounds like one epic enduro bike especially if the suspension was set up right for him.
