First off, I don't think I have asked this question here before. If I have, I apologize for the repost. If this belongs elsewhere, please move.
I want to get a bike to put around on with my son who's on a kdx50. Most of our riding will be open pasture. We may do some trail riding as his skill level improves. We may also do some track time. The track time would be for fun and not include serious racing on my part (40 yrs old). I am 5'8" with a 29" inseam and I weigh about 185 pounds.
I am thinking about getting a KLX125L. I figure it would make a decent playbike with some stiffer springs and a few mods. Also, it would be a decent bike for the wife to learn on.
What does everyone think about this bike for the type of riding I plan to do? What might be a better choice?
