It is good to hear you are makeing the swap back to the 500.  After I took my 500 out for the first time I knew I would not need another big dirtbike.  I would like to find a xr250r or sometihing similar to it for just putting around on trails so I do not stray too far from my friends.

Hey tharden, before you get that xr 250 try out a kdx 200 !! i have one thats street legal. its great for trail riding cruising the pits and teaching girlfriends how to ride. plus i always get graphics that match the 500s.

I looked up the kdx200 and it is a nice looking bike.  The only problem is I do not see many of them around here.  I think I will hold off buying a bike now and maybe keep an eye out for one.  Thanks for giving me the heads up.
