[QUOTE="john hubbard, post: 654520, member: 39749"] Anthony, I don't think you could go wrong with the KDX 200/220. However for a guy your size and weight you'll have to get stiffer springs for the front and rear suspension. The bike can grow with you as your skills improve--there's tons of aftermarket parts. It's bulletproof, stone cold reliable. I bought a new KDX 200 last fall after a 20 year break and made several mods to it that have really just made it much more enjoyable (powerful and rideable). I'm 5'11 205 pound without equipment and I have no problem getting to where I need to go in a hurry. For taller riders it may feel little cramped--but there's way to correct that--just go to the JUSTKDX site and they'll be many more tips and advice there. HOWEVER, since you're a big kid already with a few more years of growing to do, the XR 400 wouldn't be bad choice either. I don't much about the DR-Z..but I'm a big fan of honda. I've owned XR's and CR's in my day. Again I believe the XR 400 can grow with you, and the aftermarket parts are plentiful. If I were you (6ft 220) I'd probably look at the 400 first. Just my opinion. Oh yeah, don't forget to buy some decent riding equipment. Good Luck!..John [/QUOTE]
