Hey Guys,
I'm about to buy a bike, I'm new to Moto riding but am coming from a DH MTB background...where I hit doubles up to 30', drop off cliffs up to 15' high and do mach1 thru the woods downhill. So I expect to progress fast with a motorcycle.
There's lots of trail riding here (Kamloops, BC) but I know I'll want to hit jumps too. I won't be racing however. I'm 200lbs, 5'10.
My Bro just bought a 92 RMX250 and I rode it for about an hr, pretty sweet ride.
Here are a couple bikes that are available right now.....93 KDX200, 96 CR250, 96 WR250....for $500-600 more there a couple 01 KX250's too.
I'm leaning towards a 250 MX bike and then modify it as needed for trails, while still being able to jump it....is that a decent plan of attack???
Or maybe the KDX and beef it up for jumping. Is it underpowered though when you wanna open 'er up?
Thx,
Derek
