Ok, so I've not been mountain biking much for a few years - became a bit of a Roadie - partially because of a shoulder injury and partly because I enjoyed it (run for cover!! ๐Ÿ˜‰ )
Back in the days of 26" wheels I had a couple of Intense (early Tracer & 5.5 EVP) and Turner 5spots (Horst, Tnt & DW)of all of these the DW Spot was by far my preferred ride. Fit in medium for me at 5'8" was perfect as was the 140mm travel.
Another thing I liked about the Turner(s)was the little amount of servicing required - I seemed to be replacing bearings on the Intense on a regular basis!
So before I go looking too hard for one (a Burner).... What else should I consider for a 140 rear (150 front)650b frame??
Cheers

I wouldn't look any further. Just do it. You won't be disappointed.

I take it you're a Turner man Joe?

Burner ftw! I'm a bit of a Turner fan though (just bought my 3rd - a czar).
5'7" on a medium here, fits perfectly. Pedals well (especially with some lighter tyres on) and rips on the downs.
