I'm 14 years old looking for a 2 stroke dirtbike. Near my house is a 1979 yz125, has had a rebuild and quite a few aftermarket parts, also comes with other parts. I have never ridden a dirt bike before (I have ridden a moped though), I have a 05 Raptor 350 so I'm familiar with the clutch/shifter, I know a few guys who know 2 stroke engines inside out that would help me if anything ever went wrong with it and I'm willing to work on it myself too. It says $550 OBO on the board, do you think this would be a good bike for me to start with and/or work on. (it also says runs strong on the board).
EDIT**
Ok so I just found this sticky so I'll throw this stuff in here.
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) I'm about 5'10" maybe a little taller
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? I like to ride hard.
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? With friends probably mostly trail riding and screwing around at a sand pit type place.
4) Do you have any riding experience? 2 or 3 years on a Blaster and 1 year on my Raptor 350
5) Do you think you will race ? Possibly but wouldn't on this bike
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? I have never worked on bikes or anything but would like to. Like I said I have access to tons of knowledge about bikes.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? 2 stroke
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? There is a guy in town who deals with used atv's/dirtbikes/motorcycles who I would probably be able to get parts from if needed.
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike?would like to spend around 400-600
10) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
Above
I dont know if any of that helped but there you go.
