mash101 is on a distinguished road
Hmmmm...... What about the rear? I can only see a 150/70/17.....
All well & good, but I went on a dirt bike course the other weekend, & tried a KTM690 Enduro R, & also a KTM 350 (EXC I think). Anyway, the 690 had masses of power, but was too high geared & heavy for mud. The 350 was around 100kg & FANTASTIC!!!!!!! So: keep your XT for road only, & get a super-light dirt bike for off road.
I have yet to see a true dual purpose machine without the compromises......
