I haven't ridden many bikes before, particularly racing bikes. The main thing I want to know is how the suspension on the motocross bikes built between 84-89 compares to the suspension on bikes built between 90-95. I've already decided on a 250. What I am trying to decide on now is what year to look for. I am fairly heavy(210), and not very tall(5'6). I am willing to adapt to a bike that is too tall for me, but I don't want a bike with suspension that is too soft.
