I am assisting my cousin is purchasing a "00-02 4 stroke to ride mostly MX tracks and some trail 80% / 20%. I own a "98 YZF 400 and he likes my bike, but I do not have the experience with the other 4 strokes and I know bike and Techno. has improved greatly since my purchase.
This will be his first dirt bike, but he is excellent street bike rider CBR 929 RR. He is very aggressive and expect nothing less when he gets on his own dirt bike. He is 5'-8" and 170 lbs strong and muscular (if that matters just trying to eliminate all possible left out info). We will be riding mostly Northern California tracks.
I narrowed it down to the following, please add some if my list is incomplete. In addition, please give as much info as possible. I realize that to ride is the best way to, but on some of these this is not an option and my cousin is not to comfortable riding others bikes and wearing others gear.
"98-99 YZF 400
"00-02" YZ 426F
"01-"02 YZ 250F
"01-"02 KTM 520
"01-"02 KTM 400
"02 CRF 450
Thank you in advance for your help.
