[QUOTE="CousinLarry, post: 1133860, member: 74332"] Hello guys! Just stumbled on this site looking for a little info. I'm mostly looking for opinions on a bike.. I'm 27, 6'1, about 180lbs.. My ONLY motorbike experience was my two-speed automatic moped when I was 14 :D I have been wanting a dirtbike ever since I can remember.. I recently bought a house near some BIG woods that a lot of people ride dirtbikes/quads in, and I just feel that now is the right time. A friend of mine is selling an 89 or 90 Honda CR250.. It's a beautiful bike, and is well maintained. Starts on the first kick and has plenty of power. He will give it to me for $800. I really don't want to spend more than $1000 since it'll be my first bike, and I'm sure I'm going to kill it pretty good.. Now to the Q's: * Is this a good bike to start on? Or should I get a 125? * Are parts from that year/model easy to come by? * What can I expect to spend on decent riding gear (helmet, boots, gloves, etc)? * How often do the engines need rebuilds? I do a lot of work on my car (91 talon tsi) so I am pretty mechanically inclined - I've just never worked on a bike. I'd imagine it's easy.. That's about all I can think of now.. Any help/guidance/tips/suggestions/leads - whatever - will be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks a lot guys - can't wait to start riding :D [/QUOTE]
