See what happens when you aren't brand loyal. You end up with to many choices!

The YFZ, Shee, and DS are better open country bikes. The TRX (with some gearing changes), Z, and Raptor are better trail bikes. It is easier to adapt a trail bike to open country, than it is to ride an open country bike on the trails. You need a machine that will do everything. I would pick the Z or Raptor for that role. The Raptor is a little tippy, narrow, and top heavy for my taste. I would have to widen it ($$$) if I had one.

I have been leaning more towards yamaha. Yamaha is mainly the only brand that I know alot about.
