[QUOTE="Dirt86, post: 1360573, member: 109208"] Hi As you can tell my the topic i want to make this transition, i want to buy my bike in spring, so i have lots of time, but i want to get a understanding of how to pick the right bike, i just dont want something that i wont like, or i cant maintain, or wont be comfortable for me. 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) 5'8 usually between 185-195 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Pretty Phycial, im sure once i get comfotable with my bike ill ride it hard. 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? whats Mx/SX? Id want to ride bother woods and tracks. Deff with friends. 4) Do you have any riding experience? I have 2 years of street bike riding 5) Do you think you will race ? Nope 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Yes, what i can do my self ill do if i cnat ill take it to a shop. 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? No brand preferance. I dont know yet, i like the thought of the 2 stroke for its off the line power but i heard they are break down alot and lways need to fixed. 4 stroke is good to i head they have high end power and are just as fun. I love the sound of a 2 stroke tho! 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? Theres a few but i think id ratehr buy used... im still in school wana save as much as possible. 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?1g-2500$ 10) Do you live in California?Nope. 11) Your age?22 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion I am agressive, i ride street bikes, and cars pretty agressive i dont think a dirt bike will be any different. Once i do get comfortable with it, i wouuld like to attempt doing some small jumps and work my way up but i think by that time ill be able to buy something that will be more ment for the - forks and suspentione ext. I was thinking of a 250 2 streoke before but i heard its rediculously fast for a a first bike. so i dont know if i should get a 235 2 stroke instrad. Thats where you guys come into play. Any help and/or suggestions as appriciated. [/QUOTE]
