Message: [QUOTE="janesee, post: 1247401, member: 81605"] So after not giving it much decision and being a VERY impulsive girl lol... I bought a 2007 TTR230L a few weeks ago, and am finding out that I should have waited it out as well as tried a couple of my friend's bikes. Boy was I ever wrong when I assumed that trail riding is where I would want to be. I was skeptical about the track - but so far have ridden 2 pits and one motocross track and have found it to be nothing but a blast. Have tried trail riding once on a trail that was NOT newb friendly, so am not looking to rule trail riding out, but definitely would like to work on my dirt skills more so in a place where I'm close to the group, and not so much riding farther away from the parking spot. Now thing is, I'd like to get a more mx geared bike. One that has better suspension, lighter, and a bit more pick up and not so much bogging like the TTR does lol. I have realized that the TTR is not meant for track riding. Now the info you need to divulge information and help me with my dilemma... 1) 5'4" and 170 lbs. 2) On a scale of 1-10, about a 6-7 for physically aggressive. I carry my weight well, learn fast and have ridden street for 4 years. 3) Ride in groups - like to play around mx/sx tracks with 'some' gentle trail riding 4) as stated before - no dirt experience 4 years street experience 5) racing... dunno... have the ambition need to work on the skillz lol 6) i'm mechanically inclined as far as the things i've already done - oil changes filter cleaning. would definitely like to learn and do more, and have a mechanically inclined bf ready to teach me. 7) no preference to brand... am considering a 125/150 ... possibly a 250 if i can mod it 'to fit' aka adjust suspension etc. 8) live within an hour of dealerships carrying honda, ktm, yamaha, suzuki, kawasaki 9) just spent $5000cdn on my new bike AND gear, so am looking to do a trade or under $4000cdn 10) live on Vancouver Island, BC, CANADA 11) 23 12) will try anything once! will describe myself as a 'fearless BUT cautious individual if that makes any sense lol! :laugh: [/QUOTE]
