I enjoyed the sales pitch 37!

Things are shaping up to a brand new one that I can put the first scratch on. Just trying to pick the right flavour for me.

I'm sure a 250 would be more then enough bike but the more reading I do the more I lean toward the 350.

So many choices! :crazy:

For example I'm OK in the slow technical stuff to the point that an XC-W wouldn't be much of an advantage BUT I'm not really comfortable in the faster stuff and the setup of the XC-W starts to frighten me, where the XC will say (yes my bikes talk to me) "that all you got old man? I can handle alot more!" Like Dirtyboy said out of the box the XC tends to get better the harder you ride it. That's all personal preference though!
Hence the Husky solution - XC frame, linkage, fork, billet triple clamp - but XC-W engine.

There are many compromises in life - thankfully for us, dirt bike setup doesn't seem to be one! Thanks be to Mattighofen!!
