[QUOTE="talnteddriver29, post: 1108163, member: 72562"] Hey everyone. My names Frank. I live in Ontario Canada. Barrie to be specific. 1) I am 135 lbs. and around 5'7 2) I am fairly aggressive guy. on a scale of 1/10 i'd have to say around a 7. I am stronger than your average 130lb guy. I used to lift weights and did a 1rep max @160lb- free weights with perfect form. (Not trying to brag) 3)I plan to ride a about a 50/50 mix between trails and jumping. No racing. I dont want a dual sport though. I dont need a light or mirrors. I want the look of of an mx bike. i definitely want a bike with very high performance potential. IE- I don't want to spend a million dollars on parts. i want them to be fair and also a lot of choice on Aftermarket parts. 4)I dont have much riding experience. I own an xl175 and xl250 which are both of the road. I rode an old 80's rm80 for a while on and off. Finally when i jumped on the 175, i loved the height, weight, everything. I found out i had a flat and its been sitting in the garage since at home. I am 5hrs from home. 5) No I am not going to race. I want to. but like i said. Im a starving college student who is hoping for a quick and powerful weekend warrior of a bike. 6) I am definitely mechanically inclined. I am a big DSMer. I can honestly tell you more about how to hone a cylinder than how to change an airfilter or oil on a bike. I love reading and learning. Basically I know more about cars than bikes. Should be easy right? 7) I have absolutely no experience in bike brands. Whatever has more Potential quickness and hauls more ass I will take!.lol 8) I have a royal distributing about 10min away with a lot of mx parts. 9) My price range is anywhere between $1500-$2000 CDN... Yes CDN! 10) I definitely want a bike atleast 1995+....Can i slap on aftermarket parts for lets say a honda 125 2stroke from a 2005 on a 1995???or anything like that? I dont mind if I get a 2stroke. I want something that has the most potential. Powerful yet quick. But if i can work on 2.0L turbo motors, then a 4stroke shouldn't intimidate me should it??? I'll get a 4stroke if it isn't too hard to repair Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
