I've kinda decided I want to buy a pure dirtbike to chuck around, learn more skills on, and probably injure myself with :biggrin:


Where do I start? 
I am not that interested in MX, but suppose I'll give it a go at some point.  So more trail riding light enduro and general screwing around.

2stroke vs 4stroke?
I'm a bit of a KTM guy, but advantages to going Japanese?

What do I look for if I'm looking to spend say R20-R30k  and I'd like to ride it more than need to fix it. I have a bakkie so don't need a trailer or anything.  Any tips?
