Either way I won't end up (Kawasaki) green with carb'd envy. 
One bike I probably would trade for, assuming I was looking for the same style of bike, is a KTM 690 enduro. Same weight, 3x the power? Yes please! |
BUT... It's significantly more money and still (probably) not as bulletproof. Certainly it would require a bit more maintenance.
