Hi, I'm looking to get an enduro style bike for some light off road work, nothing extreme just messing about. It would have to be road legal and I think something like a 250 four stroke would be about right. Now I have been looking at things like the Honda XR250 but then I came accross this:

It's a Quadzilla White Knuckle WK300. Engine is based on a Suzuki DR400 sleeved down to 293cc. Basically, I can get one brand new, on the road with tax and registration for about £1000, even though its RRP is over £2500.

The main points I can find against it are that it weighs 140kg+ dry (although I'm sure with a bit of tinkering I could get that down a little) and it only has electric start so there's no chance of removing the battery and making it kick only.

So really my question is for those who know about off road bikes, is it worth the risk of buying something kind of unknown or should I just stick with the well known stuff?

Cheers,

Dave
