I am looking to purcahse a dirt bike for myself and don't really know what kind I should get.
I am a larger guy at 6'2" tall and weigh in at ~250 lbs.
I want something that I can get for cheap ~$1500 or less and will work good on trails putting around with a buddy of mine. I will not be racing or even taking on the MX track.
I would prefer a 2-stroke just because they are cheaper to rebuild and I am mechanically inclined so I will be doing the work myself.
I live in Houston, TX, so pretty much every different brand has a service/parts department not too far from me.
As far as experience is concerned, I raced dirt bikes growing up from teh age of 12 to about 16. Then I gave it up and haven't ridden a bike since. Couple of 4wheelers including a Warrior, but no dirtbikes in about 10 years.
Thanks,
Chris
