Message: [QUOTE="stanton3, post: 1407369, member: 120093"] 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)6'1", 160. At 16 years old and still growing and putting on weight 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? pretty aggressive 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? Mostly mx tracks. 4) Do you have any riding experience? yes, rode 2 strokes when i was younger but then got out of it. 5) Do you think you will race ? Not at first but probabaly will eventually 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Yes, will be doing my own work, familar with 2 strokes, but can figure out a 4 stroke 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? Rode kawis when i was younger so i prefer them. But yamahas look really good. Price will probably dictate which brand. Is yamaha any better than kawi? 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? Yes; everything 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?1500-3000 10) Do you live in California? no, GA 11) Your age? 16 12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion Its basically between a 250f, 250 and 450f for me. I think that a 450f and a 250 two stroke are both going to be too much for me at first. I know i will eventually be able to handle it, but i dont want to get a 250f and be disappointed with the power and have to resell it. And i love 2 strokes but it seems most companies are moving away from them and i will probably get in to racing. Is it hard to find races with 2 strokes? Am i going to be disappointed in the power of a 250f? This will be for alot of jumping and track time. Also is maintaining 4 strokes a big pain? And one last thing. Are older bikes(02-05 or so) worth buying? I dont want to get one thats been ragged really bad. Or will a new top end get it closer to how it was new? Thanks for the help... [/QUOTE]
