Hello all, I'm new to forums obviously, and looking to head to dirt. However I know nothing about them and never ridden one. Some expertise would be very useful.
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
5'-11" 145lbs
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
somewhat agressive at times.
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
woods, freinds, ORV parks, forest roads, where ever I can
4) Do you have any riding experience?
BMX or sportbike count???
5) Do you think you will race?
Nope
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
Yep
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
Prefer a 2-stroke.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
buying used prolly off CL, lol
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?
1000-1500
10) Do you live in California?
Nope, Washington
11) Your age?
29
My only riding experience is the 25k miles I've put on my '05 GSXR, never been on dirt before.
Was looking into a '99 Suzuki RM 125 for $1000, possibly a 250. However I sat on a 125 and the damn thing felt huge. I felt way high off the ground, unlike my gixxer.
Should I be able to touch the ground with both feet while at a stop?
What should I look for when buying a used bike?
I have other questions, but Ill stick with that for now. Thanks :cool:
