I want a dirtbike! Something to get me from my house to work (all city driving) and then rip it up on the trails later on. I prefer to start with something 150-200cc, just not sure what my best options are. $1500 is my budget for my first bike. I have never been on a motorcycle before.
Try to include the following info in your first post
1) your physical size: 6'1, 215lb
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Probably be passive while im learning
4) Do you have any riding experience? no
5) Do you think you will race ? no
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? yes
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? not sure what the ups and downs are of each, so no preference
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? $1500
10) Do you live in California? Nope; Vancouver, Canada.
11) Your age? 20
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
I prefer to learn on something with a little less power until I'm comfortable enough with my riding skills to move up to something a little more powerful. On a side note, it still has to have enough go for highway riding + being able to pass other vehicles if necesary
Thanks for any info guys, this is my first post even though I've been reading these forums for a while.
