[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 745440, member: 16301"] The only way I've ever taken a test ride is on an actual outing - the other people are always more than willing to let you try out their bikes. I would usually wait until we all stopped for a break and then took the various bikes for a spin. If I felt like the bike was a possible fit, I'd trade for part of the ride to see how it did in other sections. I still trade bikes off & on, just to see how they compare and if I need a change. I thought you were talking riding in the woods, sand dunes are a different story. The 125 may not be such a bad choice for sand but I'm no expert on sand or 125's. I would recommend getting something reasonably close to what you think you want if you can find a good deal. I made the mistake of forking out big bucks on my KLX300 when I started riding and within a year I wanted something else. My second bike was much cheaper than my first bike and I enjoy riding my second bike a lot more than my first. [/QUOTE]
