[QUOTE="KMAPRO, post: 878574, member: 58215"] 1) Age: 32 Weight: 230 Height: 5'-8" 2) In decent shape - semi-agressive 3) Plan to ride trails, woods, open areas, and some track 4) Haven't ridden in about 12 years - last bike I rode was a CR250R 5) Might race in old-fogie class after experience is brought back up to par 6) I am somewhat mechanically inclined - what I don't know, I have people that do know 7) No real brand preference..prefer 2-stroke because of maintenance cost, but will not rule out 4-stroke 8) I have access to most brands (Honda, KTM, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki) 9) Used - $2500 New - $5000 (+/-) 10) Most of the place around me to ride are track related - people who have built their own tracks, but I will be making occasional trips to places like Durhamtown Plantation down here in the Good Old South. I will also be riding with my son who has never rode before - he will be getting his first bike soon (CRF70) I know I stated that I preferred a 2-stroke, but I have looked at a new Honda CRF250R. But seeing as their power rating is somewhat considerate of the CR125, I am afraid that it will not have enough power for my size (as mentioned 230 lbs). I am also considering a new Yamaha YZ 250. I just hope that the power would not overwhelm me seeing as how it has been a few years since I have even straddled a bike. And yes I know that I don't have to hold it wide open... I like the KTMs but they are a bit pricey and I do not know enough about them to make an accurate decision between the models. So any help would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
