[QUOTE="cramil, post: 1203326, member: 78268"] Hey all I am new to the forums and looking for advise on a bike for my son. per the guidlines here's his info 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) [I]4'-10" and 115lbs, about 25" inseam[/I] 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? [I]Beginner, but probably not too aggressive (yet)[/I] 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? [I]He will be riding with me on trails, but probably on MX tracks too.[/I] 4) Do you have any riding experience? [I]He has none[/I] 5) Do you think you will race ? [I]He might, we watched some MX and he liked it.[/I] 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?[I] I am and wouldn't have a problem doing most anything my tools allow me to.[/I] 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? [I]leaning toward 4st (predictable??) not for sure though. Really not stuck on brand.[/I] 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? [I]Yes, most major brands are not too far away.[/I] 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? [I]$1000-$1500 likely on a used bike.[/I] 10) Do you live in California? [I]no[/I] 11) Your age? [I]He is 11 almost 12[/I] 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion. [I]Mostly concerned he will grow out of what we get quickly so was thinking on the upper end of the spectrum AFA size, but worried about him starting out with too much power. I haven't rode in ~15 yrs and am looking at a dual sport I can ride on dirt with him and street too, possibly some adventure riding(DRZ-400, DR650, KLR650 or the like)[/I] Thanks for your help on this.
