Hey guys, I figured the easiest thing to do would be to use the template provided.

Transport is no problem since my brother has a trailer already.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea where to start.

1) Height/Weight

5'10" 112 Pounds

2) How physical / aggressive are you?

I'm built like a stick. I don't know what "aggressive" means in this context.

3) What do you plan to ride-- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends?

Tracks

4) Do you have any riding experience?

When I was a kid I rode a bit but that was quite a long time ago. I don't remember anything about riding, so consider me an absolute beginner.

5) Do you think you will race?

I really don't know, but most likely I will not.

6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?

I'm willing to learn to save money!!

7) Do you have a preference to a brand/motor choice (2 OR 4 stroke)?

I don't know enough to have a motor preference. No brand preference.

8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?

There are several dealers. I don't know what they all carry but at least one carries Kawasaki.

9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?

As little as possible. I don't know what to realistically expect but less than or equal to $1000 would be the best.

10) Do you live in California?

Nope.

11) Your age?

19 going on 20

12) Anything else that you think would help form an opinion.

You can try a 125 2 stroke but it might feel a bit big. A big wheel 85 or 100 might be a better beginner track bike for you depending on how long your legs are. Go sit on a few bikes so you know what to look for. Be aware of the potential for needed repairs on a 1000 dollar mx bike.

With your budget and the fact you want to ride tracks I'd look for the newest 125 in decent shape you can afford.
