[QUOTE="GaryKTM200, post: 25264, member: 20843"] Hi Outdoors1, I'm going to chime in on this one. I started riding again at 39 years old. I had been off of a bike for about 21 years. I wanted something for my son and I to do together. It has been and still is a blast. Bear in mind that I am not that good of a rider but things are getting better. The thing about bikes I think is that it is as much fun learning as it it after you have some seat time. All I know is that I am still learning and having a ball. Now for the bike issues that you have raised. I was in your exact same boots 3 yrs. ago. First off I say you are a very smart guy for asking your questions here. A lot of guys here know what they are talking about and can probably save you some money and have you on the right bike the first time. I started on a 95 XR 250. While the bike was fine my heart was in a 2 stroke. I figured I would go the KDX 220 way. That bike was fine too. But neither bike was anything near what I have now. I have a 00 KTM 200 mx\c. The KTM has way better suspension and power than either of the above mentioned bikes. Also my KTM is very light compared. The thing I like about the KTM 200 is that it feels like a 125 but has the power of a 250 it seems. There will be no need to redo the suspension as soon as you get it and there will be no need to spend a bunch of money on after market stuff like pipes,silencer ect. Put some bark busters on it and go. The KTM 200 will lug (go slow) as well as go as fast as you probably want to go. Great all around bike I think. By the way. I am 5'10" and 165#s. So this bike fits me very well. There are a lot of great bikes out there but I have found that the bike I have now fits me best. Oh, do you see how you can save money by asking your questions here? I had to buy three bikes to find the one for me. Best wishes, welcome aboard and happy trails, Gary [/QUOTE]
