Hi

Post by macgyver »

Hi. Just signed up. I'm planning on getting back into dirt riding. But need to pick up a bike first. So I'm currently in the process of deciding what that bike will be. And this place looks like it's full of info that will help me decide.

Cheers,
Scott

Half of the people on this forum are going to tell you to buy a KTM 300. If you're into that, and your budget is small (~$2500) I saw this ad and thought it to be a nice looking bike at a pretty good price:

Ya a number of people have brought up the KTM 300 to me as a bike for the trails.

Thought I would update this. I picked up a 2007 WR450. So Spring couldn't happen soon enough.

We ride on the quad and 4x4 trails in the Ghost FLUZ with studs in the winter. It's not as much fun as single track but it's what is available there. And there are some private land opportunities to ride on in the winter. Additionally there are some ice racing events that are fun.
