Went with a few of those guys out to Colorado and ran that BDR with them. My first trail ride and the only other dirt experience I had at the time was someone's lot behind their house! I feel like I did pretty good, very glad I did it on an XL250! Light bikes on trails are the way to go.

How gnarly are the single track sections of the KAT if you have done any?

I've done some of the "Hard" sections in my area, and think the Hawks should do fine on them, since they are basically a dirt bike with lights....some narrow sections...but if you run the Main sections, instead of the hard sections, most Adventure bikes can handle it.
