Any particular reason why you are leaving out the best bikes for that type of riding? KTM and Husky 2-strokes, 400 EXC, etc.

Isn't the XT a slightly smaller, much older version of the DR?

IMO, pick up a used 2-stroke 250 for some cheap dirt jones.

I think through the years K&N has let their quality slip. I'm partial to No-toil foam myself for offroad, but a filter thread is a minefield just like an oil thread.

Find one that works for you....

It seems silly to try a Frankenstein a bike together when the bike that will fill that void has been made by other companies for over a decade.
