All of them, you will hurt yourself, guaranteed.

It's in my mate garage near Haslemere, Surrey.  and your right, not really an MX'er, I bought it for green laneing couple of years ago but the whole keeping in my mates garage thing isn't really working so time to sell it on.

I'm going down there next week to clean it / tart it up / charge battery etc....

why cant you keep it at yours?

Daft question but do you actually want a motocross bike for motocross, or just a dirtbike for a bit of offroad fun?  Motocross bikes are designed for one thing, and that is going terrifyingly quick on motocross tracks (and hurting people).  They suck at everything else.  Enduro and Dual Sport stuff us much more forgiving at a more sedate pace.

Where I'm living at the mo, I don't have a garage.

Am thinking to renting a garage, but if I do will get back into track days with trailer.

It would be for proper mx tracks. The thought of broken bones isn't great but I reckon it's worth a few tries
