[QUOTE="ishyboo, post: 1309153, member: 97402"] Hey all, I've never raced, but I've ridden a bunch of track days on my VTR250. It's not what I thought it was though, so I'm thinking about switching sports to either MX or Enduro. I've been researching constantly, but there seems to be A LOT more to dirt bikes than street racing and I'm overloaded. Help! 1) your physical size: 5'11" 140lbs 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? 10/10 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? MX 4) Do you have any riding experience? Two years on road, maybe 5 hours total on a 1970 honda with offroad tires. =) 5) Do you think you will race ? Yes 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? I'll be doing as much as I can. 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? Whatever is cheapest and has the best value to get me running asap. 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? I'll be buying used. 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? 2k max. 10) Do you live in California? Rhode island 11) Your age? 21 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion I don't know what I'm doing on a dirt bike, but I have experience with bikes in general. I want something that will challenge me and I wont grow out of in a few months. I also need something that wont destroy my bank account too. I had it easy on my VTR at about 300-400 a month in repairs/tires and I'm looking for something that will cost me the same, but preferably much less. Thanks in advance, Francis [/QUOTE]
