Welcome to the site :cool:
Be sure and go to your User CP and update information relating to your location, type of riding, etc. After that grab a spot on the couch and tell us a bit about yourself.
Regarding your poll, there is no "best dirt bike" IMHO. You are in Michigan where a lot of people ride trails on their KTMs. Track riders prefer other brands generally. Check out the
What Bike Do I Get... ? forum for tons of great info on bikes. Use search and you will get lost in there for days. :)
Good luck with saving money! :cool:
Again, welcome to the site and shout if you have any questions!
