I think, well for what was my style of riding off road, it's bloody difficult to beat a well set up 2T. I did a few years on various KTM's, mostly the 300 EXC which was just worked. Fluid to ride from low speed up and wickedly quick at the top end
I also did a season using a hopped up honda XR250,new suspension, bigger bore, re-cammed, flat slide and a bit of head work and while it did OK it was always hard work and I never really gelled with it. Cost quite a bit too when you totted up all the 'extras' to make it competitive.
