I prefer the XT, basically the normal tired model. If you want to go anywhere anyplace but don't care about speed. Very hard to beat the old Honda Trail 90/110. If it has oil and gas most even when flogged will run forever. I have two.. Most fun bikes I have ever owned, and I used to race motocrosss and endro. In low gear even with the skinny tires they will climb a tree. Gas milage is measured in weeks per tank.. With the rear rack they will carry more than you have any idea.
