So im thinking about buy a 2003 DRZ250 for trail riding.
was just wondering a few things such as how reliable the bike is...and pros / cons to the bike? where would i buy a full exhaust system to? been only able to find slip ons

im also looking at a 2004 crf230f....not sure which would be the better buy

Price for the drz250 - $1,400

price of the crf230 bored to 240cc - $1,600



Thanks in advanced

for trail riding, the XR250R, TTR are also good choice. bullet proof. I like the DRZ250 for the electric start and kick start togather. xr got more aftermarket parts, DRZ250 got little aftermarket support. honda oem parts are also cheaper than suzuki oem parts.

DRZ has more motor than the CRF230. 4 valve head vs. 2 valve engine based on the old XR200.
