1) your physical size - 6 feet, 215 pounds.
2) How physical / aggressive are you - Moderate, In pretty good shape for 37 years old.
3) what do you plan to ride- Woods, trails and an occasional lap on the track.
4) Do you have any riding experience? I am a rookie, about ten off rode rides under my belt on a WR250
5) Do you think you will race ? No
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Yes, I am pretty handy.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice - Honda four stroke
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? - Several dealer close by.
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike? $3500 to $4000
10) I live in GA
I am ready to purchase my first bike. I am a rookie with less then 10 rides under my belt. I am 6'0" and 210 pounds. I plan to ride mostly trails and woods with an occasional lap around the track.
I think a Honda CRF 250X would suite my needs very well. Unfortunately, I can't find a used 05 or 06 model for sale. I have found a 2006 CRF 250R for sale in great shape for $3500.
My question is would a Honda CRF 250R be well suited for trails and woods riding? Is there some modification I could make to the bike to make it more suitable for wood and trails than the MX track?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
