[QUOTE="Renthorin, post: 1276145, member: 87505"] Hi all. Need to get some basic info about what trail bike could be right for me. I am used to a street bike (CBR600F3) and have never been on a dirt bike. Here are some basics: 1) your physical size = 5'9, 170lbs 2) How physical / aggressive are you = average. I run a dog sled in the winter ;-) 3) what do you plan to ride = ORV trails and 2-tracks in Michigan. 4) Do you have any riding experience= only street bike (CBR) 5) Do you think you will race = no 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work = yes 7) Do YOU have a preference to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke) = Only ever owned Honda. 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry = Most major brands at local place 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike = 4k or less 10) Do you live in California = thank god no. 11) Your age= sigh.......too damn old.... 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion = Just looking for something to cruise some trails. Not planning on jumping...racing....as I may only use it 4 times a year do not want to drop a lot of money on a bike. Want a new bike so I know the history. This is my current choices but I haven't really looked: Yamaha TT-R230 Honda CRF230F So I guess I need to know...is 230cc too small for me? How many miles can I expect from a 2 gallon tank? How fast do they go? why the price jump from 230 to 250? Why do some 2xx bikes cost twice what the others do for the same brand? And....any advice or thoughts you have :-) Thanks, Will [/QUOTE]
