okay first of sorry if this has been covered already but after searching i just couldnt seem to find the answer im looking for.
Hokay!
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
i am 17 @ 90 kilos (200lbs i tink) and at 175 cm. im a very stocky bloke thanks to my concreting heritage but am by no
means fat or phycialy unfit.
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? very :boss:
everything, most of my mates ride trial/woods, but we hit the jumps alot and have some track
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
everything, most of my mates ride trial/woods, but we hit the jumps alot (literally) and have some track days a year. we basically do it all.
4) Do you have any riding experience?
been riding bikes scince i was 10 yrs old. have had a brake for the last year.
5) Do you think you will race ?
competivly? not really, first one back to the shed for a beer? DEFINATLY!!!!!!!!
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
yes and no, i know the very basics of servicing a bike but am willing to learn all thats needed. most of the times i trade a slab of beer for half a days time of me and my mates and we service ours all in one go.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
okay here is where im really confused. I just cant seem to decide.... i have always owned 4 strokes enduros and never n mx bike. however, an mx bike is what i want to buy. now given my trail riding history i have never ridden a 2 stroke. most of my mates got 4's as they sold of their 2 strokes before i was riding with them. (the mates i go riding wit are in their mid 20's) Anywaz. i thinking either a 125 or a 250f, or even a 250 2 smoker<-----YES i would consider buying a 250 and bearing with the power until i get used to it. Im stoped on wether a 125 will be sufficent enough as i blasted the hell outa my 200 and 250, so i dont want something that will lack on power, but, they were trails. I really want an mx bike as im sick of the heavy trail mother Fu@#ers. Only problem is i dont know what to choose and for what reasons they would be good for.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? No but a good selection is bout a 20 min drive away.
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike?
5500-6000 ausy dollars. ruffly 4000-5000 us
10) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
are 2 strokes going to be around in a couple of years and will it be worth investing in one now? how much will a 125 last in the FUN factor before needing to upgrade? like i said, a 250 smoker is on the playin cards but i doubt it as the real decision here is between 125 or 250f.
