I hate doing this again, but its been awhile since my last one. And i was set on the YZ125, but then because i don't have enought money yet i think, And think, And think. And start to worry myself with is this really what i want? And i don't know but im starting to think that a KDX would be better for my needs. And i've been regretting to do tis for 3 days. but i decided why not... So yeah, here is my thingey.
1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
6' 1", 186lbs, 16years old.
2) How physical / aggressive are you?
i find myself VERY aggressive. I WANNA GO FAST! :aj: hehe
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
Alot of everything. Ill do alot of trials, yard fields, hills. But i live next door to a dirt bike track. so ill be over there. Ill do some motocross/hair scrambles.
4) Do you have any riding experience?
2 years on KE100, and some RM80 riding. I pick up on how to ride and where my limits are fast.
5) Do you think you will race ?
Yes, i live next door. (love it!)
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
Yes...
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
2-stroke. Hands down!!
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
Yes, Kawasaki is the closest. But the rest are 5 min further. Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda
9) How much do you plan to spend on a bike?
What ever it costs. But ill be buying used...
10) Do you live in California?
Nope...
11) anything else that you think would help form an opinion?
I wanted a Yz125. because is race oriented. And when i rode my friends RM80 it seemed like enough power and such to get me around here. But its bottom end was bad. but i figured with some mods it would be fine.
But the KDX has more CC, and its made for trails that it would be better for here because it would be good for the trails and hills. And with some mods i could get it to have good accel but still lots of bottom end (which equals wheelies!=good!) And it has a headlight. But im afraid of getting tired with the power. Not enough. Because i got bored with my KE100 FAST. AND my go kart 150cc seems like a turd. But this isn't that good of a race, Maybe for the hair scrambles but not MX.
So as you can see im tore in between these two fine bike. And another thing does the KDX have a good aftermarket variety?
Thanks if you can help me forum an opinion.
