Its a great ride! You could probably do it on a DRZ pretty easily as long as you dont take a passenger. The MT09 is good for just about any trip, especially now that i have done some comfort stuff to it.

I really appreciate watching your videos is there any way i could pick your brain on putting together a 5-6 day trip for a group of friends coming from the midwest. looking for a combination of single track and two track riding to see and experience amazing things. was looking into the RIadaho grit style rides. Ride group is above average on KTM 350's. would appreciate any insights you have. we are up for base camping in one spot or carrying gear and moving around.

what year is the 450 xcf? how do you feel the power delivery is for single track use? why did you choose the xcf over the exc? thanks man i enjoy your videos
@RacerRed8 күн бұрын
The XCF has higher compression and more horsepower. I love it for dessert racing. It’s a lot to handle in the single track but doable by lowering the front sprocket. EXC-F would be better for trails
