You could get a KTM 150 and paint it green 🤔 they are decent bikes!

That's my weapon of choice for the woods too!....just leave it in 3rd and roll on the power as needed.
Wire hand:
You guys must be in great shape.Racing enduros on the kx 500 is a work out.A couple hours in the vibration alone gets hard to deal with.If you guys run the enduro cross sections at your enduros in third gear you are talented.I am going to test ride the Beta rr200 215 lbs with no fuel.The kx 125 is also light and green!

I myself don't race enduro's, but I still ride quite often...I grew up racing motocross from the late 80's thru the late 90's on 250's. I got my 500 back in the Spring of 2011, and it was the only bike I had at the time, so I used it for everything. About 3 1/2 years later I restored a 250...but, I hardly ever ride it, unless I'm just takin a rip over to my buddies to hang out and shoot the s**t...I prefer to be on the 500.
if you're having that much issue with vibration, you may want to look into having the crank balanced, a "general" port job to help smooth out the power, and throw the rubber bar mount cones in the top triple tree in the trash, and get some solid aluminum cones...all that right there, will significantly reduce vibration. I can ride mine all day and not even notice vibration.
At 47, I'm still in decent shape...I still workout 3-4 days a week, I've always eaten healthy....but...if I had to run 5 miles...there better be a chair and an oxygen mask at the end!

I have a kx125 08 that been enlarged to 144 yz flat top piston wossner , and fully ported to suit by 2 stroke performance ,and head machine to suit, he did not like the Athena kit said the porting needed major work, it powerband is wider and more powerfull all the way thrue, if you have the last kdx200 model which I have as well you can lighten them up as well fairly easy and get more power from engine is only a pc pipe ,raise the boost ports 20 thou and machine the head to get the desired squish, front brake is weak as well which I had a custom disc made using a 270mm after market bracket that fits kx450 14 model, yes they bolt straight on and get rid of kdx master cylinder , as I had a cr250 96 master lying around and bolted straight up and now have a front brake that twice as powerfull using 2 fingers.
