[QUOTE="skiz, post: 1399593, member: 119909"] I thought I had my mind made up to buy a :think: YZ450F for myself and a TTR125 for my son, then an acquaintance talked me into a WR450F. . But now I'm reading discussions that say a 4stroke has high and frequent maintenance. . So now I don't know what I'm doing. . I've never owned a 4stroke before. . I sold my last bike 17 years ago and it was a KX250 2stroke. Let me take the recommended quiz for me and my son 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) me: 6' 190ibs him: 5'3' 100ibs and at 11years old is the "spitting" image of his 6'4" grandfather. . His 14 yr old sister (my daughter) is 5'10". . What I'm trying to say is that he's still growing and maybe alot more. 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? me: On the tennis court and the ski slope I'm extremely aggressive. . On a bike, I haven't ridden for 17 years, so I don't know how fast it will come back to me. . My pace will be set by sticking with my son at whatever pace he is ready for. him: Has never ridden before but very athletic in travel soccer and basketball 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? No racing, yes woods, fields with friends or ????? 4) Do you have any riding experience? me: started on gokarts at age5, Honda50, Hadaka100, Kaw175, KX250, then kids started at age28. . Got rid of the KX. . Now 17 years have passed. 5) Do you think you will race ? me: No him: Who knows, he's never ridden before. . We'll see how badly the bug bites him. 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Not mechanically inclined, not doing own work 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? Not really 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? Honda, Kaw, Yam, Suz, KTM 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? I'm open 10) Do you live in California? No, Ohio 11) Your age? me: 45 him: 11 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion I'm buying an enclosed 6x10 trailer this coming weekend unless somebody here says, "That's not a good idea because ..." To those that respond, I thank you very much for the help Skiz [/QUOTE]
