[QUOTE="robbieisurfriend, post: 1230736, member: 77317"] 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) 6'4" 240lbs bodybuilder frame 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Not enough to kill myself but enough to push myself and have a good time. 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? All kinds of trails, fields, all with friends nothing too competitive (beyond bragging rights) 4) Do you have any riding experience? I have ridden some small bikes and quads. Im not afraid of anything because i have enough skill and sense to not get my #$%* ruined. 5) Do you think you will race ? Only friends and in my head :). 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? I hope to teach myself or i will pay to have stuff done and watch and learn for the next time. 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? Not really. Never ridden a 2 stroke but they are cheaper and i am considering a decent 90's 250 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? I will be buying locally used and yes i can get parts for anything here. 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? Under $2000 preferably $1200-1500 10) Do you live in California? Nope 11) Your age? 20 I am looking for something that will not lose my intrest on the trails or gravel or in fields. I know that i want atleast a 250 2 stroke but also have seen some tempting honda xr600r in the area that might suit me alright too. I dont want to spend much money on it and plan on waiting on a good deal i just need some ideas as to what would suit me best. I will be riding slow in some dangerous areas on occasion so low end is probably going to be a factor. I also will probably be cruizing down smooth trails and through fields. Hopefully i will not have to put much money into changing the suspension for my weight so that is a factor in my choice also. One more question, where is a good place to get proper gear for a decent price and what would u recommend wearing on trails that wont break the bank. I am wanting to get into the sport and see if it sticks so i dont want to get a whole lot of money wrapped up in it. thanks. [/QUOTE]
