^ Winner!
Do some research - but folks have fit wheels from a Duke to the SMC and possibly Enduros.

But...but...but...I really like the Excel hoops...  Do what you want, anodized hubs are sessy. Just putting an remarkably competitively priced, tubless 17" option out there. Tubes have a big weight penalty on em |

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

^^ NSFW! I love my Warp9's. Lots of folks look down on them, but they're- 17" take tubes (yeah, I can't tell any difference with the extra weight) look make the beast with two backsing awesome (orange, with orange hub and black spokes) $1200 for the wheels with tubes, rim strip and shinko tires. I have zero regrets on this setup. The tires are not the full soft compound and they still stick like glue and show very little wear. I ride that bike like a criminal. Did I mention the wheels are orange and they look make the beast with two backsing awesome?    |

Got to play with this little guy yesterday Duke 200. Fun little bike and motor feels great for a 200. Good torque down low and power comes on starting 6-7k rpm. Think its rated at 25hp. Light weight and well balanced ride. Fun for a little toy bike and the size is more than enough for the island i live on even overkill, not enough room to really get it going.   |

My first bike was a 250 ninj. I kind of like the new ones. |

Wife has a 300 Ninja. I have been riding it more than the Multi lately. It is a giggle fest.
On the Orange note, I was talking to my local KTM dealer (who is also the local Duc dealer) and he has a 690 Enduro R. I will be riding it this weekend but he has warned me that I will be able to cover more terrain options with a 450 or 500...

The 690 is bigger, so if you're looking for something that's only doing woods or real tech suff, it's big. But if you want something that will do well on the longer hauls the 690 might be the way to go.
