[QUOTE="jruggery, post: 707881, member: 40972"] Don't overlook the KDX. Two years ago I also came back to the sport, after a twelve year layoff, on a KDX 200. I think it was the perfect bike for me at that time. KDX's are renown for being friendly, unintimidating bikes, yet they pack a surprising amount of performance, especially considering the price. A 220 would haul you around, no problem. Also, there is a wealth of information to be had about the bike at justKDX, so check it out. Concerning the RM, any 250 MX bike can be made to work in the woods, it just requires some focused mods. Most start with a flywheel weight to make the power less abrupt and a little more tractable. Having the suspension modified for the woods is also a good idea. Take a look at some of the magazine tests of off-road modified 250's to get an idea of where to start. In my opinion though, without knowing what your skill level was before the layoff, I say go for the KDX. An MX bike is still an MX bike no matter how much you tame it down, and if you're just starting back up the last thing you need is to try to wrestle a 48 HP rocket through unfamiliar trails. [/QUOTE]
