How often does the average mxer upgrade? From what I read on here it's every year or two.
I guess my question concerns the reasoning behind buying a new bike as much as anything else. I'm on my 2nd in the last couple of years or so neither of which I bought new. My 1st one was a 98 125sx that I thought was so fast. It had a hard hit in the upper mid but handled like a tank. I bought my 01 125sx from a dealer sponsored pro rider, it only had a couple of races on it and was still like new when I got it and it had all the goodies on it including a suspension revalve and sprung to my weight. The difference was night & day between this one and the 98. At 1st I didn't think it was as fast because of the smoother power.
I brought up all the above because as much as I would like to buy a brand spankin' new bike I have had no problem to speak of with mine and it is fun to ride. I am no where near riding to the bikes potential so what would I gain by shelling out doe on a new one?
Truespode mode off.lol
