Street legal enduro bikes?

Skip all the bikes in this thread and just get a KTM 690R. Same weight (or lighter) as pretty much all of the true street legal bikes posted here and close to twice the HP.

and twice the price.

Plus it is overpowered for tight trail riding. I'm all for power, but trying to maneuver a heavy bike(by offroading standards) through the woods all the while riding the clutch in 1st gear sucks.
 
he wants a putter about - the little Honda is perfect. - quiet and fun

So, long story short---I used to ride dirt bikes in the past (10+ years ago), and just got the bug I wanna get one. But the catch is I want it to be street legal, so I can register it and purr around the block or to the convenience store LEGALLY.

Check out KTM 500 EXC and 350 EXC-F both street legal. The Yamaha WR250R is a really good bike for the price.

True but you're getting twice the bike as well including WAY better suspenders than on the other bikes.

You could gear it down for the really tight stuff. All bikes are compromises of course but you certainly compromise huge when things get faster, but I agree on the right tool for the job.

Happy hunting.
