[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1226215, member: 68872"] 30 years is considered "old" ??? I guess I don't want to know what you consider 51 to be then..... If he is thinking in terms of being "old" then I would guess that he is not in the best of physical condition. The dunes is one place where more power is better. Some people may enjoy the challenge of an underpowered bike in the dunes but most people would prefer more power. I am thinking a 450 four stroke for this. Riding the MX track would dictate a decent suspension. The would rule out many of the "off road" models (such as the Yamaha TT line). For trail rides it is always nice to have an easy starting bike, a kickstand, and even a headlight for some night rides. A bike that brings all this together is the Yamaha WR450f. It has a suspension that is identical to the MX bikes. The engine is very close to the MX bike, just detuned a slight bit. Still plenty of power, however. It has a kickstand so you can take a break whereever you want. It has a headlight for night rides. It also has that "magic button" that out of shape old guys really like: push the button and the bike starts. Rod [/QUOTE]
