[QUOTE="DirtDawger, post: 1071271, member: 18967"] Where to begin. The 230 is a very bad idea for some one in your size and weight class (like I am). The suspension was never intended for men of our girth. If budget is a big factor and you want somthing pretty tame look at some used options. KTM 250 RFS w/electric strart would be my first choice(very tame). CRF250X w/electric start, Plenty of fun power but still easy to ride. If you are really on a budget look at the Honda XR400 or XR 250 (No electric Start). The 400 better suites your size but the 250 will work in a pinch. The other poster mentioned a TTR-250 which I would put in the same catagory as the XR 250 but it does have electric start. Another wild card option would be a KDX 200 or 220. It is a two stroke but has great low end power with a low weight compared to the 4 strokes and will give you some skills growing room. I don't know what part of the country you are in but here in the east they can be had used for insanly cheap prices and they are very reliable. I will go so far as to say they are the honda XRs of two strokes. Just go with a 96 or newer as they have not changed. Go to Canadian Daves thread in this forum to learn more. Just my opinion and you know what they say about those. [/QUOTE]
