[QUOTE="hforo, post: 1281067, member: 88452"] Me 27, wanting to get back into riding: 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) 6'3, 280 (Yeah I'm a big guy) 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? I used to ride bikes/ATVs when I was younger but I probably won't be super aggressive, trails, some jumps etc, nothing crazy.. 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? Trails, the occasional track, maybe some dunes... 4) Do you have any riding experience? I used to ride when younger, a KX125... and i've ridden ATVs a fair amount 5) Do you think you will race ? Nope! 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)? I think I want a 4 stroke, I don't wanna really deal with the oil/gas of 2 strokes... 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? I think we have every major brand dealer nearby :) 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? As much as we need to... we can buy new 10) Do you live in California? No 11) Your age? 27 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion Nope Her 23, never ridden before 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) 5'11, 210 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? I'm not sure how aggressive she'll be, I could see her getting into it though... 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? Trails, the occasional track, maybe some dunes... 4) Do you have any riding experience? She's ridden a quad before, not a bike though... 5) Do you think you will race ? Nope! 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Yes (I will be doing the work for her) :) 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? I think I want a 4 stroke, I don't wanna really deal with the oil/gas of 2 strokes... 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? I think we have every major brand dealer nearby :) 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? As much as we need to... we can buy new 10) Do you live in California? No 11) Your age? 23 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion Nope So thats basically it, we'll want to get bikes that we won't have to replace if we do end up getting more into it, more aggressive, etc... So if anyone has some suggestions toss them out :) (I was looking at the 450 4strokes for myself, and like a 230ish for her... but I'm not sure if thats the right way to go or not, as I haven't ridden in about 7 years...)
