[QUOTE="RebelBanshee, post: 1237492, member: 79551"] Im a quad rider (yeah yeah I know, bring on the names) looking to make a switch to two wheels. Finding good parts for my old TRX250R is getting harder and Id like a new challenge. I ride aggressive (dont use it to prune apple trees or haul beer and I have a full set of gear :laugh: ), but have no bike experience. Id like to spend $2500 tops on a bike, so im looking at 00-04 CR250s and YZ250s. Perhaps older if the condition and price is right. I do alot of fairly open woods. Not super tight, 50" at the narrowest. Alot of hills too. Also, some light MX...no big tripples 50ft. is probably the biggest I hit. I would like to know which bike and what years are preferable. Smooth power for the woods and plush suspention are what Im most concerned with. Also at 6"3' I dont want a bike that has smallish ergonomics. Any advice is appreciated. :cool: 1) your physical size 6'3" 180lbs 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Very 3) what do you plan to ride- Mostly woods (not super tight single track), with some light MX 4) Do you have any riding experience? Lots on a quad, none on a bike 5) Do you think you will race ? Possibly some harescrambles 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Im not afraid to do anything 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? Honda or Yamaha 250 2 stroke 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? good on dealers 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? $2500 tops 10) Do you live in California? heck no 11) Your age? 23 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which ocean is California closest to?
