Hey everyone, I ride a 600CC Zx6-r bike. So i have plenty experience with motorcycles. My sister recently moved and bought a townhouse where there is so many trails and seeing all the quads and dirt bikes ride daily...... i cant help but to buy a dirt or off road bike for myself and for my brother.
1) I am 5 8 160lbs - 24 years old.
3) I plan to ride trails and a MX track possibly down the road.
4) 4 year riding experience on a sport bike.
5) Will never competitively race
6) Can work on 2 or 4 strokes myself
7) i am not a fanboy. First bike was a yamaha r6, then got a kawasaki. So brand isnt an issue.
9) I would like to spend a 1000.
I went to a local dealer and looked at the Honda CRF150R, Yamaha YZ150 and TTR230. As well as 250 MX from all 4 major brands.
I am kinda leaning to a YZ150, or any other 125CC class (but they seem to be gone off the market now??) and my brother is leaning towards a 250 moto class. (not offroad).
Can someone help me what bike would be good? The 150R i feel like its pretty small, but the YZ125 is pretty damn big and would get time to get used to. It is hard to backtrack to the model names of the bikes from early 2000's as they seem to have changed since then or simply dont exist. To summarize I am looking for some fun and want to get something real cheap for now since sport bikes are my primary passion.
