Message: [QUOTE="snaggleXR4, post: 186375, member: 24395"] Hey, An XR would be an excellent choice in my opinion. I've had two XR's since '87 and have had excellent luck with them. They are very reliable, easy to maintain, and easy to ride. You basically have two choices, a 250 or 400. The 250 was greatly updated in '96, when they released the 400's for the first time. If you will just be putting around with the kids, the 250 should do you right. On the other hand if you are 180lbs+ I would strongly urge you to look at the 400's. You really can't go wrong with either though. Just in case you haven't already, make sure you and your kids have helmets, gloves, goggles and mx boots (tennis shoes or work boots don't hack it) at the very least. Knee and elbow pads can be optional but may come in handy as the kids, and maybe even you get used to the bikes. Good luck, be safe and have fun! [/QUOTE]
