Hi, Steve.  I'm 10.5 - 11 (US size) depending on the specific boot.

Subject: [emrat:13106] Dirt riding gear? What do I need?

RATS:  I'm recovering nicely from my knee surgery and keep scanning FB Marketplace and CL looking for a nice 250 - 400cc dual sport for my next bike.  If anybody here knows of one for sale, please send me a link or a contact number.  

Currently I'm thinking Suzuki DRZ-400 (based on the theory of "wisdom of the crowd"), Yamaha WR250R (thanks Curtis!), Kawasaki KLX400 or 250, or Honda CRF230L (though these seem hard to find.)  Budget would be $3k - $4k.  

I'm also wondering what gear I need?  I know most dirt riders use a different style of helmet, and I often see people riding with exterior armor.  If anybody has any extra gear they want to sell I don't mind buying used (except the helmet, that I would buy new, even though my wallet is still smoking from the Shoei Neotec I got a couple weeks ago (pretty sure I spent more on that helmet than I did on the last 3 helmets I bought put together.)  

Thanks in advance! 

Martin
