It's a lot more fun and challenging than riding a Road King.

That is entirely dependent on how you ride that Road King.

I can ride it as fast as it can go, scrape the floorboards etc. and it still won't give me the thrill that my KX250 can.
It's kinda boring in comparison.

I sold my dirt bike many many years ago, that’s why I’m still alive today. I had more guts than skill and that nearly killed me !
