Hey guys, I'm planning on getting a new(to me) bike in the next 2-3 months and wanted to get everyone's opinions on the right two-stroke bike for me. I'm not partial to any brand, but am really more than anything looking for info on common problems/issues.
Most of the bikes I'm looking at are late 90's or very early 00's. I'm not opposed to a 125 or a 250. Just wanna ride 2-wheels again. The most common bikes around here seem to be 96-02 Kx250's & 125's as well as 96-02 Rm250's & 125's.
Heres the info:
1) your physical size: 165lbs 5'10"
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Pretty aggressive
3) what do you plan to ride- Woods(very little track)
4) Do you have any riding experience? Been riding 15yrs
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 preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? Just a two-stroke. 125-250
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? I've got all the major brands close.
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? $1000-$1700
10) Do you live in California? no
11) Your age? 27
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion? Just common issues with bikes of this time frame.
Help a brother get back in the "know". :think:
