Hi Guys

Serious noob here when it comes to plastics and 2 smoke.

In a nutshell:

Love my TW but it's not made for bush riding and with t being nice and new and shiny I really don't want to damage it - also, even though I'm under 6ft for steep hills etc the cockpit is too cramped for standing and the rear tyre is limiting in terms of grip on rocky / loose stuff.

Amazing little bike for cruising, less technical trails and the sand in Moz!

I enjoy bush riding, Mozambique sand tracks, farm riding but not throwing my bike off a cliff (Umzumbe / Roof of Africa stuff I just can't face damage to a bike like that causes haha).

Anyone ridden a 150 xc? Youtube vids look like it has way enough power for me (75kg in my kit).

How long can one ride a 125 / 150 / 200 KTM before it needs to be rebuilt or needs serious maintenance?
Cost of the above?

Does buying from a dealer mean you're less likely to have k@k with a used bike?

Best bet for R 35 k max budget? I'll be honest and say that KTM, Husa and Husky do it for me  :drif:
