Mark this on your calandar; 'cause I agree with Avatard....gimme a 2T for the dirt any old day. I have two 2strokes, a TS250 ('73) and a TS125 ('75), and they are a blast to ride, dual shocks and limited travel and all. Unless your pounding the whoops most of that stuff is just marketing fluff. As far as maintenance, I have 8000 (dirt) miles on the the original top end of the 250; it uses oil injection, always starts on the first kick (Yes, it has to be kick-started, big deal). Service takes about 1/2 hr every season; it's light, snappy and fun to ride.......what else do you want?....(ohh, and I bought it for $500 and haven't put another $100 into it in six years of hard use, but this year I'll treat it to some tires).
