[QUOTE="datv, post: 932925, member: 61898"] I am an avid street rider and got hooked on trackdays (sportbikes) one year ago. I'm definitely a track junkie, and go almost every other week. I took American Supercamp last weekend, and loved it. We were just cruising around a small oval dirt track, and then a flat TT track on little honda 100's, but I had such a blast. Now I'm shopping for a dirt weapon. So now I've started researching the dirt scene, and find myself completely clueless. Should I be looking into a motocross bike or enduro? How big a bike is good to start, but I won't outgrow soon. Are used dirt bikes safe, or do they just get abused so much, I should get a new one? There is a deal at a local shop for a KTM 400 enduro that seems pretty cool - 7k for an 05 with 20 hrs and some aftermarket goodies? I don't know if I'll be into doing the motocross jumps, but I like the idea of being able to do them. I've never been trail riding, but it sounds fun too. The flat track wsa a blast, but it was just my first taste of dirt riding. As far as the sticky's points: I'm 6' and 160# I ride aggressively, but definitely in my comfort zone Racing could be fun eventually I'm mechanically inclined, and enjoy working on bikes Plenty of local dealers for almost all brands I'm leaning to 4 stroke, because I can ride year round in CA with one (green sitcker at least fo rhte summer) I'll spend what's necessary, I think 7k is my limit though. Any help or advice to a dirt newbie is appreciated - I'm anxious to get started!! Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
