I agree moto, The XR and the 530EXC-r are two totally different bikes,with years of difference in technology. The XR600 pretty well remained the bike to beat in its day and most of the dedicated trail masters had one at the time.
If I had to choose which bike to go on the 3 state ride the KTM would stay home in the shed as the XR would be in it’s element having a seat and all.
The KTM is a much easier bike to ride in the techie sections in the bush though,I love that light clutch.
Still love the tractor though, took it for a spin last night, love to get a set of motard wheels for it, but explaining that to the missus would be a waste of time.LOL
