1) Your physical size (both height and weight are important)
About 5'11" 130lbs
2) How physical / aggressive are you?
Not very physical or aggressive. Did some mountain biking 2 years ago and my physical ability improved very quickly. My hobby is cars pretty much.
3) What do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
I hope to do mainly trails and some track stuff once I got better. But I dont see myself getting into racing. Eventually id like to be able to get some air though. With friends of course.
4) Do you have any riding experience?
Zero riding experience. Although I tend to learn quickly and I know my physical potential is there.
5) Do you think you will race?
Nah not really. Id like to go fast in general though.
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
Yes I do my own work on my cars and worked in a auto shop for a year.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
My first choice would probably be Yamaha, maybe KTM, then Suzuki, then Kawasaki, then Honda. I guess id prefer a 4 stroke for the lower powerband and I wouldnt want to buy something that is going to be phased out in the next few years.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
Ive got a pretty large place nearby that carries Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki.. Also got another little Honda bike dealership nearby.
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike?
$2000 max right now with my current income. Ive seen a few barely used bikes for around $2000 and I cant afford to buy something new.
10) Do you live in California?
Nope
11) Anything else that you think would help form an opinion
Basicly id like something that I can learn on but im not going to have to upgrade after I gain a little experience under my belt. I was initially looking at 125's but now that im reading some of other peoples advice, im starting to think id grow out of a 125 pretty quickly so I was looking at 250s. I think id also like something like a dual sport purely based on the fact of looks and id feel more comfortable having lights if I get lost at night. Im also in New Jersey so finding places to ride could be an issue. At this point im hoping I can spend the $2000 on something in good condition and then my mom will help me out with the riding gear cause shes all about safety.. Basicly looking at something like Yamaha's TT-R250
