I've only owned Honda and KTM, and for me KTM has been for superior in the durable/longevity department.

I have ridden other peoples bikes, and for stock out of the box performance/handling, and observed durability, I lean towards Yamaha.

All bikes are fast enough at the weekend warrior level too; and they all will bite on occasion.

I knew you were either joking or plain dumb the minute you said KTM more reliable than a Honda...That's just plain stupid!  That's like saying a slice of bread is harder than a boulder.....

He may have had a mid 2000s grenade, sorry I mean CRF250.

Love how the hontards get offended when someone states his experience racing.

What other brand in the 2000s had reliability problems? Let me ponder this

That's why I used the phrase "for me", as there are many variables involved.

And yes, my Honda's were the early to mid 2k's.

I rode a KTM back in the early 90's and it was either an 88 or 89, im pretty sure those early KTMs had stricter quality control than the junk they are pushing on us newer consumers. It was pretty tough, It had the USD forks, new back then, and a nice tractable power output for a dude like me. Alot of new stuff is garbage...

Ktm 250xc. I do everything from gnarly hard Enduro type stuff to motocross. It handles everything great. But any similar cross country style bike would probably fill that role well. Yz250x, yz250fx, crf250rx, kx250xc.

Can't believe no one's mentioned the Mighty Cannondale 450 EFI's

I had one, was actually way ahead of its time.  yamaha has since copied the reverse cylinder configuration injection in the front and exhaust out the back, was fuel injected, had elec start, some very nice components. Issue was it was too loud for california parks.

My mate still has his. Lost count how many times he blew it up. But, you're right, it did have some great innovations for It's time ?

I'm pretty sure my mate has blown his up every time he's ridden it . He is very fast though. 2 x Australian 500cc Grand Prix champ. Beat Wayne Gardner both times.

Looks like you all want to defend Honda's honour. Cool.

That's because Honda riders stick together.

At least most Yamaha fans can be adults.

You build your stable that suits you and family members. 

Freaking love my KX 100 and despise the TTR 110, all the quads are noteworthy.

Creditable comment?

But when you ride quads you need to move like passenger in sidecar racing. 

I can't do that with a two wheelers without fear of falling off.

Well, maybe not to that extreme

I can easily imagine big Shrubby on an outlander 1000 . Knowing him as well as one can over the net, I also reckon he'd love it lol.

I had a blast on my Polaris Outlaw. I'd buy another quad if more mates had them.

They do poorly on alpine mountain single track. 

[Drop-Bear]

Almost all the ST makers around here, with the exception of one person, use quads to build trails.

If it goes fast, is fun to ride/drive, has an engine, or motor, I'm all in. "Variety is the spice of life".
