Ok... I'm 14, about to turn 15, and I'm looking to buy another dirt bike. When I was younger, I had a TTR90 and I outgrew it. About 4 months ago, my family bought a four wheeler(350 raptor). I rather have a dirt bike so I'm wondering what I should get. I'm not new to dirt bikes, I just haven't rode one in forever. And I'd appreciate it if you suggested something according to my information, not what you like. Thanks! :)
