[QUOTE="NoPainXNoGain, post: 1322761, member: 100312"] Hey all! I'm completely new to the dirt bike world. I am really wanting to get a dirt bike, and I'm alittle bit short on cash, meaning I dont think I'd be able to afford a swanky new model lol but I saw someone post this and maybe I can get some good advice on what bike would be best for me- 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) *I am 100lbs and 5'1 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? *I am slightly nervous about crackin my head open, but I live by no pain no gain. If by physical too you mean strength, I used to work out a great deal but the past year I got lil lazy. I used to be really strong and invested in a weight lifting equipment. Not sure if thats what that mean =x 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? *My boyfriend has a backyard thats wooded so I'd more likely be riding in the woods. I can probably ride in some fields as well. 4) Do you have any riding experience? *I used to have a friend I rode on his KTM i think it was a 200cc, and his Honda XR70 if I remember correctly. I was gonna buy the honda for 300 but it was very crappy and banged up. 5) Do you think you will race ? *If my area had that kind of thing I would deffinetely race, as for backyard racing, I'd probably do that too lol. 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? *Not yet no, I never had a dirtbike but my friend had shown and taught me one or two things, but not enough to fix my own stuff 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? *Not really, I dont like yamaha for some reason..i really don't know why lol, just one of those things i suppose but my friend told me a 4 stroke would be best cause its less work or w/e I forget, i don't talk to them anymore 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? I think we do, I haven't look much into it but I think its yamaha dealer 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? *I would prefer to spend 1,000 tops, but I know thats unlikely.. 10) Do you live in California? *I don't know why this is on here, but i'll leave it just in case, but no i dont. I'm in Virginia 11) Your age? *I'm 18 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion *Not really, I'm just excited and really want a beginner bike thats still awesome. [/QUOTE]
