mainly silver lake sand dunes and the orv trails. as for mods it depends on how much $$ i have at the time and how fast it already is.

for sand dunes, the Banshee is still the king...but it is NOT a great trail or MX choice.

For everything else, the 250R will be your best choice as far as 2-stroke racers go.

If ya, have the time, patience and know how to rebuild a two-stroke you should be able to handle a four-stroke. I personally wouldn't consider a 2-stroke. I've dealt with them before and while fun to ride, just a pain in the **** everywhere else. The 'shee has TERRIBLE suspension. It's like the old hoopty you see driving down main that bounces for 6 blocks after hitting a speed bump...except it has a drag engine under the hood. And Fouling plugs on the 2-strokes is VERY upsetting and can ruin your day.

We used to make anyone with a 2-stroke ride in the back because we if we got hit with one more thrown rock there was going to be a brawl.

The 700r is fighting the 'shee for king of the dunes and the 450's own MX and XC. Do some reading and check out the options. Shee's are a dime a dozen, and 250R's are hard to come by. They ruled their day but, their day is ending. : \

On a propery tuned 2 stroke plugs will not foul, having said that most 2 strokes aren't tuned to their most efficient potential.
