I recently inherited some rural land from my parents, and I'm looking to build a cabin or something on it, for the times I want to get away from everything and relax. I figured I might need some form of cheap, light transportation that could handle off-roading, as well as being able to go on the road legally. After seeing that dirtbikes get insane mileage, I decided to look into them.
I'm 25 years old, around 6'1", 200 lbs. I have no riding experience and would use the bike primarily for getting around on the property, and going into town from time to time. I really don't have any interest in racing or even going above 35 mph or so. I'd be doing my own maintenance, something else I have no current knowledge of, and although I'm willing to learn, the easier it is to repair/maintain, and the less often I have to do it, the better. I'm looking to spend about $1500.
Finally, it'd be nice if it were fairly quiet, but it's really not that big a deal.
Thanks in advance!
