    I want a light, dependable thumper for the street. Does the SRX have decent
    low and mid-range torque? Would the XR benefit much with street tires and
    perhaps lowering a couple inches? Also is there a simple way to mount a low
    front fender on the stock XR forks? I love the stance of the SRX but do not
    want another bike with all the power in the high rpms. I would also
    consider a Kaw KLX if easier to streetify.
    Thanks to all who respond.

    If you want low end torque, smoothness (for a thumper) and reliabiity,
    get the XR650L. Jet it richer, open up the airbox, and you have a
    stump pulling torque monster. Handles very well on the street. If
    you're inseam challenged, there are lowering links available.
