Hey guys.
Second year riding and have outgrown two bikes already.
I am an aggressive rider, 5'5' 190 no gear. Strong.
I enjoy technical woods riding and some hill climbing like at Fox Valley IL or Buffalo Range, IL so i don't want to lose that factor of the new bike. I also started to race harescrambles this year so i want the perfect all around bike. I also enjoy doing some minor minor free style which is hard to do with my drz250. What will be a good upgrade? i am looking at something like a used cr250; also the kdx. i was told that i would prob outgrow the kdx as well. i don't want to do that. any thoughts? i will prob have to modify kouba links or suspension or seat on any bike i get cause of my height.
I also thought about some used crf450. they are bad but how is the valves? do i have to adjust them often?
thanks
