My wife is looking at getting into off-road riding too. I'm thinking about the Honda CRF230. Here's her info:
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) 5'4"; 115 lbs; 28" inseam
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Physical - yes; Aggressive - moderate
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? Trails and Woods
4) Do you have any riding experience? She is a good street rider (Lowered ST1300); solid fundamentals
5) Do you think you will race ? No
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? I am and will do most of the work.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? Not specifically. I like the price point on the CRF230
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? Yep
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? <$3000
10) Do you live in California? Never set foot there
11) Your age? She is 37
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion She is a surprisingly good student. She is not afraid of motorcycles and is smart about what she can and can't do.
I'm anxious to hear what you have to say.
