I have looked, sat and researched more on the Hondas first and foremost.
That means I'm kinda leaning towards their CRF series. I will not do much jumping and dirt tracks I am wanting one for goofing off around the farm and on trails so a trail bike. I like having both feet being able to be planted on the ground at stand still just because. So the 150f and 125f big wheel are really the two in looking at considering getting within 6mths or less.
I test drove, well borrowed a friend's son smaller bike and loved it. It was the best weekend on two wheels I have ever had I must say.
A four speed is perfectly fine for me as a five would be too much I would think for me as I am not really wanting one to go faster than I am comfortable with. I am merely looking for a bike to ride around the farm to check on anything that I don't want to take the truck or atv to.
A bike with just the kickstarter is fine with me as a push button is just luxury. It's a dirt bike, right?
And to clarify I rather pay for something a little under powered than too much for what I can handle safely for now.
I bet I can somehow find someone on Craigslist, or cycletrader.com to sell it to eventually if I ever would want to get rid of it?
Out the door from the local dealer for the 125f big wheel, I hope it was because I really didn't triple check was in the ballpark of $3,200. Should I save up and get new or should I really need to find a bike in great shape used from someone than did not run the shat out of it?
The 150f I was kinda tip toing. But the 125f I would be much more comfortable controlling for my uses.
No jumping other than the occasional hay field terrace and such, not big air dirt track jumps.
Thoughts? And what direction should I be looking for a decent bike? Honda or yamaha preferably. Kawasaki if it's a heck of a deal.
I liked the metal skid plate of these past two years of CRFs
Oh, I'm not but 5'9 so a talker bike like the 230 would be to big for me right now until I got comfortable with the 125-150 size bikes. Understand?
Thanks so much. The advice on these forums are great so that's why I am asking here. Because most of you know your _ _ _ _ about anything.
