[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1439501, member: 68872"] My suggestion is to figure out why you are so hard on the bikes you have. Give us some more information., First off, how old were your old bikes? What model of bikes did you have? When your bikes fail, what goes wrong? How big / heavy are you? Are you crashing and breaking the bike, or is it just wearing out? Just how often did they break down? Dirt bikes will take an enormous amount of abuse but you do have to maintain them and fix the things that break. The harder you ride and the more you crash the more things will need to be replaced or repaired. It is just the way things go. A bike with a lower performance, low compression engine can run forever without needing a rebuild, as long as the oil is kept fresh. A high compression race engine, on the other hand, wears out fairly quickly. It is the price you pay for performance. Many people plan on doing a top end rebuild every 100 hours, and a serious racer will do it even sooner than that. If you are having suspension failures then perhaps your bike simply isn't set up properly for your weight. If your bike is 20 years old and having just one thing break after another then the answer might be a newer bike rather than a different brand. Rod [/QUOTE]
