I have a endurance 2 on my enduro bike

simple unit , speed ,distance ,adv, does not need external power so just hook up the sensor and you are away
only down side is that my unit has filled up with water after one ride in the rain :(
got a warranty but im yet to put it on ,

Cheap and easy to use, but really if all you need is a speedo then just get a cheapo digital bicycle speedo (non wireless works best) and run that ala 2000ish KTMs. if you need backlight then others like trialtech is probably a better bet...

late 90s KDX200 were a great bike, easy to ride and wont scare you as its less MX'y (wont hit as hard and not as tall) than the 250 was.
