Ok, so after reading the sticky, here ya go.
Try to include the following info in your first post
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
-I'm about 5'8, 135 on any given day.
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
-On a bike, VERY.
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
-Mostly dirt and sand. San Diego has dunes and dirt a plenty. Perhaps a track, but the Desert will be primary.
4) Do you have any riding experience?
-Little dirt bike experience a few years ago, on 125, and 250 2 strokes. About a year on the street and track on my GSXR.
5) Do you think you will race ?
-Not on the dirt.
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
-Will do the cheap easy stuff. Not down for much hardcore wrenchin though.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
-No real preference to brand. Kind of preferential to 4 strokes because i don't want a red sticker bike, and looking for a good bit of power for the dunes.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
-Plenty of dealers, all brands, no prob here.
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike?
-Lookin for a used bike. Probably in the neighborhood of a couple grand.
10) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
-Again, just looking for a solid used bike. It would be cool to get one with a head light so I can head out to the hill at night also, but its not really a priority. Need something that can accomadate paddles and will be a solid first bike.
Hope thats enough info. looking forward to opinions.
