I am 13 years old (14 in October), 5'7" tall and weigh @130 lbs.
I am moderately physical. I skateboard, race bmx and have been playing drum set since age 3.
I plan to mainly race mx (after learning to handle bike good enough) and riding trails around house with friends.
I had an 03 Yamaha TTR 90 until about 1 1/2 years ago my dad sold it when I out grew it. Haven't ridden one since.
My dad is mechanically inclined. But I feel that it will be half us and half certified mechanic doing repairs and maintenance.
I have no preference as to brand or 2 or 4 stroke, but my dad says that a 4 stroke is less maintenance than 2 stroke, at least in his riding days.
I have all brands of bikes within 1/2 hour drive of my home.
My dad says that I can get something in the $2500-3500 price range.
I live in Tennessee near Memphis.
My dad's main concern is that I haven't had any experience with a manual clutch. He says he doesn't want me to kill myself or tear up a clutch trying to learn.
Thanks for any help and advice.
