    So I've stumbled across a pretty clean Ol' husky. A'96 wxc610 for a good trade. I'm putting up my carbon fiber high end road bicycle. I've had too many surgeries on my right leg to get out and road race, and this bike is made for nuthin' more than racing and training to race. I already have an '01 te570 and a '99 wr250, so im not exactly hurting on Motos right now, but I love those left kickers. Is there anything I should be looking for? I'm under the impression that it's the same motor as my 570, yet it's dual exhaust. What say the rabble? Any wxc 610 owners out there? Pro cons etc... Just a novice enjoy/ collector needing some info. It's all appreciated.

    The 96 610 is pretty similar to your 570. The 610 or 570 model received updates from time to time over the years but they always remained reliable bikes with a lot of available power. I had a 96 610 for a few years and it was a lot of fun to ride.

    Nice, thanks for the input. I was just wondering if it would be overkill, having two big beasts. It would be cool to set the 610 up as a sm. If anybody has anymore info id appreciate it.

    "too many surgeries on my right leg..."

    You answered your own question! Go abuse your left leg. If it is a good trade then you will (can?) get your money back out of it.
