So... I am pretty much a newbie... I have built/driven jeeps and stuff for about 6 years now and am looking to add some dirt biking in as well (because I TOTALLY need another exspensive hobby :think: ). My dirt biking expirience consists of riding around for a few days on a friends '79 125 (can't remember the model)... It had definitely seen better years and the motor was noticably tired but it was still a blast... I plan on doing trailriding out in Daniel Boone National forest but there are some nice long straighaways and a few decent playgrounds so I don't want anything super anemic (definitely would like some more ohmph than the 79 125.. LOL). I am 5'11" and weight in at 160 so I don't need anything huge. Looking around this forum and a few other sites I have decided that the KDX 200 is the bike for me... I will be buying used off craigslist and I am wondering what years are best? What sort of things should I check out when looking at one? Any other adivce or other models I should be considering?
I am looking to spend $800-$1100 and my Jeeps have forced me to become pretty mechanically adept so I can handle most mechanical work myself (fixing carbs, starters and transfer cases on the trail will do that!)...
Thanks and sorry for the long post :)
