Hi all,
Lookin to ride
) your physical size (both height and weight are important) 5'9 180lbs
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? dunno
3) what do you plan to ride- ????? trails, dirt road, field. with friends both with bikes and quads
4) Do you have any riding experience? rode a ttr-125 once last year
5) Do you think you will race ? no
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? no but willing to learn some basics
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? no
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? yes major ones
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike? well...
10) Do you live in California? no
11) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
ok...here's the deal...my friend is moving out of state for summer and is gonna let me ride his rt100 for the summer...I think its' a 92. Here's the problem...From the looks of it needs a lot of work. The good news is he told me to save the reciepts and he would pay for any parts that need replacing within reason - labor. I figure this would be a good opportunity for me to get some experience both riding and learning a little about repairs. I don't know exactly what needs repair, but I know it hasn't been run in at least 2 years.
I'm not gonna ask what all i should consider fixing cuz i know there are other forums posts, but I do want to know if I should even consider this and what I should expect out of this bike/what newer bikes it's comparable to, ect. The only bike I ever rode is a ttr125
thanks
