[QUOTE="RockyRoads, post: 663408, member: 45871"] Mudmaiden, according to the specs on the CRF230F, the bike weighs 238 pounds dry (about 20 pounds less than the XR400). To me, it doesn't "feel" heavy (I'm a little over 120 pounds), especially when riding it and manuevering around tight corners. The powerband is really smooth, allowing for really fun riding whether I'm going fast or doing slow tricky stuff. There isn't an MX version for the 230, just the 250. It is my understanding that the CRF250 is an entirely different animal--a lot taller, different suspension, different gearing, and built for MX track riding; there's supposed to be a 250X version for trail riding, coming out in December, but my learning curve is still pretty steep, and the 230 seemed like it would "fit" me better overall at this point. The electric start is really nice--another key factor for me in choosing the CRF230. I'm going riding at Hollister this Friday and Saturday--my first time there, and I'm very excited! My husband said that there are really great trails, without all of the rocks that I have been accustomed to at Carnegie. Should be fun!!! [/QUOTE]
