A dirt bike would be good fun, but then comes fuel and tax insurance etc. Though if I was going to get a dirt bike I'd get a wr250r, always wanted one as they are superlight and still plenty of go in them, a mate had one when we were youths, excellent bike. I mean if you're doing 60mph+ off road you're braver than me! No need for a bigger dirt bike really. You can't compare a 250w/1000w ebike to a 250cc/1200cc dirt bike, I see what you're saying though. I'm open to trying out a smaller power ebike.
