Hey, I'm sort of pondering moving up from my YZ125, to a bigger bike. I mostly ride trails, and open areas like Gorman in CA. I don't race, just ride. I've also been riding for about a year.
Anyways, I've been looking at some 1995-1997 xr400/600/650s, and they're about in my price range ($2500 or so).
I'm a big guy, about 6', 250 lbs. I'm 16 years old, also. I've been riding my 125 for about a year.
How well would an XR bike work for me? I've seen some great deals on 400s, 600s and 650s (mid 90's models) How reliable are they, and how good are they for trail riding, and just general screwing around? Is a 650 too big for me (remember, 16, 6', 250 lbs), or is a 400 too small for me? Thanks in advance for any input.
