[QUOTE="justalonewolf007, post: 1286440, member: 77294"] Jump on that! With a little care, the bike will be good as new again, and will last. Generally speaking (anyone correct me if I'm wrong) the XR gets recommended for several reasons. 1 - Reliability. They are prettymuch bullet proof. They don't need much maintenence. And the little that it does need is really pretty easy. Honda also has a pretty good reputation for reliability as well. 2 - Power. This thing is an all around great bike. It's fantastic for beginners because the power is predictable and steady. It won't die as easily if you're starting out and let out the clutch a little too soon. If you have it revved just a little higher, than you're supposed to, it won't flip over instantly. The power is also good because you can get used to it, and not run out half as quickly as other bikes. 3 - Price. They are pretty inexpensive as far as bikes go, and there are no "hidden costs" usually. Hidden costs include things like valve jobs, bottom or top ends (on 2-strokes, and newer 4-strokes)... 4 - Seat height. Is lower. This basically means more than just super tall people (5'5" and taller :nener: ) can ride them. Also, for beginning riders, a lower seat height provides a little more confidence since more focus can be dedicated to operating the bike instead of trying to figure out how to not tip over at a standstill (a problem I still have after 8 years of riding). That clarify things a little? [/QUOTE]
