[QUOTE="berudd, post: 908700, member: 57973"] I am guess he is close on the HP number. I would have guessed 1 or 2 more maybe that is based on little or no fact. Mary, what kind of riding to you want to do? Trails and off-road or do you want to ride on an MX track? Also, what is your general body size? That plays a part in what you want to ride. This sounds like your first bike so let me recommend something. Find a clean used bike and not a new one. Especially if you want the TTR. I bought a new TTR125 for my son when he was learning and in no time at all he as ready to move to something bigger. He was only 12 then and at 19 you may not physically outgrow it but as your ride more you may decicde that some other bike would better suit your needs. If you buy a new TTR and want to sell it later, you will not be happy with what you can get for it. I bet you can find a 03 or 04 TTR that has hardly been ridden for several hundred off the new price. If after a year you still feel it is the bike for you and you plan to continue to ride it for the next few years then maybe you can justify a brand new one. Bad front suspension? Hmmmm, that is a little harsh I think. Probably a bit on the soft side and not as advanced as a modern MX bike but that does not make it bad. Just be careful hiting those 80; triples! LOL! Depending on how much you weigh, you may want to put stiffer springs in the fork. Not sure how you are with tools, but this is a pretty easy DIY affair. And about 80's beating this TTR? Hell, were I live 80's frequenty beat 450s!!! HA! [/QUOTE]
