CJ, this is your whole problem, you believe you're riding an inferior bike. For some reason, there's a notion that, everyone has to have the latest in dirt-bike technology in order to be a better rider. What they really need is practice. :DOriginally posted by CJ Rider
Why do I have to ride an inferior bike?

Thats one step better than my ride (double shoe front drum, std rear drum.) but i'm not losing any sleep over it. :D
Heck i can lock up either one at most any speed anyways.
Discs would be nice, but unless your competing or riding really hard they are kinda overkill. IMHO.
Although if you are looking for a more advanced machine to compete -w- hubby or the boyfriend why not a cr/rm/kx/yz 80 or 125????:think

I also realize manufacturers have to fill the beginner market as mentioned above, but then there is nothing for small women to move up to. There's a huge hole in the product line.
FC - I don't think "fast" is the word you're looking for. There aren't many bikes (80cc's and up) where the top speed limits how fast it can be ridden on a trail.Originally posted by firecracker22
There are a couple schools of thought on bike choice—buy a small bike and make it fast, or buy a fast bike and make it small. They are both expensive.

The only thing I have a beef with on these new bikes is suspension components. That is the one thing the manufacturers could step up and make better for entry-level bikes.

They don't build them for 6' 8" 275 lb gorillas either! How 'bout some equality for me? I make due.;)
