    well ive decided to go 4 stroke now and sold the kx500 for double what i paid for it But i dont know what to go for, what 4s is going to be just as fast and exciting as the kx500, im also thinking about going down the enduro route when i get my licence back (ive been a bad boy) But whats the best kawi for enduro, ive seen 1s that look the same as my kx250 except there road legal with all the lights etc, are these any good. Thanks

    been looking at this one but is it even going to be able to give me the thrills of my 250 i heard 4s are a bit slow but lots of torque

    my quads are 4 stroke thats it, i have a z400 quadsport and the biggest thing
    i find different besides the sound is the power, its vicious but smooth
    not like the 2 stroke on the pipe that pulls your hands off the grips
    when your on the pipe hard, its really really hard to explain, ride a buddys
    first and you ll know what i mean
