Hello All. I've been a member of this site for a while now but never posted (I think I was looking for info on 690s but went for a wr250r after all)
As an aspiring Hare&Hounds/enduro rider I'm looking to make 2012 my introduction to the sport. I have a couple of questions. Offroad-wise, I've ridden DRZ400 and WR250R green laning and overland from UK to Magadan via BAM and Road of Bones and I used to roadrace BMCRC and MRO on 400,600,1000 but never proper offroad.
There's a practice day at the end of march (with CHEC) and I was thinking of something like a KTM200. Is this the right bike for a 5'11 70kg rider with my background? Also, does everyone use LEATT-style neckbraces now or is there still a split in approach to this? Any other pearls of wisdom would be much appreciated!
