just get a snowmachine... 4x4 is useless in all that snow... and you can ride the snow machine on the mud... seen it done... works better on water though

Iv'e got a CRF150 that I ride when I can - but I suck at dirt and don't have a lot of time to drive all the way to the "local" dirt areas and then all the way home (2 ro so hours each way)

Dammit! ! !
Am i the only one here that rides more Dirt then street?
Hell even my Ninja has seen some offroad fun. . .lol(street tires off-road are VERY UNSAFE)



But i ride Trails(no MX for me) probably rode a good 20+ hours over the summer on the little KD80. . .

Street is fun and FAST
but there is not match for entering a turn doing 60MPH+ and nearly have the bike slide out from under you, or riding through water that covers half the bike and leaving a roost of mud/water behind you


And 2T FTMFW Bitches! ! !

I just sold my KTM 300 MXC, I'd love to live out west where they have long ATV trails.

It was a lot faster than 400 4-strokes.

The only reason 2s has the advantage in dirtbikes is because of the weight savings, both in physical size/weight of the jug, and it's moving mass- I think the 2storkes are easier to fling around corners. Plus the 4-strokes make torque off longer stroke, making for a taller jug, higher COG, etc. On ATV's I think some of that stuff is less of an issue. I could be wrong, but I don't care.

Digi: My first experience taking sportbikes offroad was when you were 7 years old. Don't get too ahead of yourself mate.

Don't forget a few others:
- less maintenance
- easier kick starting
- more reliable (I'm talking vs. MX thumpers)
- no engine braking
- more fun? (personal preference)

I just sold my KTM 450 XC, and whittled the dirt bikes down to my one 300 XC-W. I took the 300 around 80-90% of the time.

I prefer dirt biking too - no cops, no cages, good exercise, and one year land access = less than a trackday in cost.

4x4 usless in snow? You ain't riding it right bitch.
That's like sayin your Yota is usless in snow!
Worst case, buy some tracks for it.

Buddy of mine is an Arctic Cat tech, got to test some tracks and the new 1000 quad.
Said the quad with the tracks was pulling out sleds that were getting stuck in the powder!

I was talking about ATV's and in the deep snow you guys have yeah... my Yota would be have a hell of a time as it doesn't have the power to plow through that shit off road... now on trail runs with snow I'm good cause we don't usually have 2-3' of standing snow.

get a snowmachine and do 80 across all that open land...
