Thinking about getting a bike - help!

[icesaint]

Hey all! Im 19 years old and currently live in SLC, Utah. I have always wanted a dirt bike or 4-wheeler, and am looking to pick up a bike to have some fun. I have a trailer, and towing vehicle, just need a bike. I am looking for something in the $1000-$3000 range, used or new. I am relatively large person (6'2, 195 lbs) and don't want something that will feel like a total toy, although size isn't important.

I really have little idea on what to buy, what brands, used or new... I want to buy a bike that is *reliable*, somewhat powerful, and can be used for serious off-road distance riding. If any of you could give me a few recommendations/bikes/engine sizes or types, etc. Anything is helpful!

Thanks a million -

Brendan

Welcome to the site :cool:

Be sure and go to your User CP and update information relating to your location, type of riding, etc. After that grab a spot on the couch and tell us a bit about yourself.

Check out Okie's link, it will guide you into the morass.

Again, welcome to the site and shout if you have any questions!
