So I can finally afford to get a dirtbike and hopefully I can start racing down the road, just hung up on what to get. I've been told that a 125cc would help me learn to be more aggresive, but I've also been told that I would be too big for a 125cc, I should get a 250cc. :think:
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
6'2", 180lbs.
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
I would say very, I play paintball and I'm joining the Marines. But I haven't ridden a dirtbike yet, I messed around on a quad a couple of times though, in which I was very aggresive, going as fast as it would let me.
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
I really want to race, but I know I'll need to learn how to ride/get decent first. Plus riding with my friends.
4) Do you have any riding experience?
None, unless a quad counts but I don't think they're related.
5) Do you think you will race ?
Thats my goal. :)
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
Yes, I love tearing things down and rebuilding them, learning how everything works and how to improve it.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
My friends have sucked me into the 2Stroke cult, so if I get a 4Stroke they might disown me.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
I don't know if I understand this question right, but I'm fairly certain that I have access to every brand of dirtbikes, I live in Vegas. But just to give an answer, the closest one to me is the Yamaha dealership.
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?
Money will not be an issue, although top of the line is prefered. For show off sake, haha.
10) Do you live in California?
No? I'm close though...wierd question I must be out of the loop.
11) Your age?
Going on nineteen.
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
I'm really digging the KTM's, based on looks. Next in based on looks is Kawasaki, but no 125cc this year I heard? How come?
