Ok, my friend is pretty interested in getting a bike with me. It will be his first. His dad said that he wants him to get something smaller to start with.. so Here we go.
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
5'10" / 110lbs.
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
Very active and not very aggressive
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
Mostly Track
4) Do you have any riding experience?
No Experience
5) Do you think you will race ?
He will only be racing me.
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
I will be helping him with his bike in my shop
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
He is really interested in Honda, Suzuki being his second choice. Two or Four stroke doesn't really matter. I'll be riding a 125 2T so I would kinda like him to have a 2T also but its up to him, and I don't think he cares.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
All kinds of dealers
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?
2000-2500 max
10) Do you live in California?
No, Texas
11) Your age?
17
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
I was thinking about either a CR85R Expert or a CRF150R Expert or an RM 100 for him. What do you guys think? Do you think the 85r would bore him after a while?
