Now, that I have a place to ride, I'm looking to get a bike. My answers to the big ten questions are as follows:
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
5'10" 170lbs
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
Moderate. I won't be flying off jumps 20 ft. in the air, but I'll pop a quick wheelie or two once I'm comfortable with a particular bike.
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
Woods and fields with my buddies. Maybe some mud bogging too.
4) Do you have any riding experience?
Yes, limited. Mostly street bikes.
5) Do you think you will race ?
No
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
Yes! I'll do almost any repair myself.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
Would prefer Honda, Yamaha or other well known brand. Based on what I know about Kawasaki subway cars (yes, they make them too) I would not buy a Kawasaki bike unless someone can convince me otherwise.
I would prefer 4 strokes for more low end torque.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
Yes, Yamaha and Honda dealers are close by. But, I believe they sell other brands too.
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?
Something used for $1000-$1500
10) Do you live in California?
No
11) Your age?
Wise enough not to get myself killed. Young enough to have good physical strength.
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
Looking for 125-250cc bike that is durable and easy to ride.
Many thanks in advance for your reccomendations
