[QUOTE="salamander99, post: 1480191, member: 146621"] 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) [B]me - 5'10" , 170lb wife - 5'2", 120lb[/B] 2) How physical / aggressive are you? [B]My wife - not at all. Me - once I get comfortable I might push the limits[/B] 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or? [B]I'm looking for something casual that my wife and I can use on our trails and the occasional short ride on the road to the gas station. Safety, comfort and riding distance are priorities. We live on a 1200 foot ridge, so trails can be steep and rocky. Need technique and a little power I think.[/B] 4) Do you have any riding experience? [B]I have no motorcycle experience whatsoever and know absolutely nothing about them. I do drive a polaris ranger xp1000 trail boss on my trails here, use a kubota L3902 tractor here, etc.[/B] 5) Do you think you will race? [B]Definitely not.[/B] 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? [B]No, not really.[/B] 7) Do YOU have a preference to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? [B]Nope.[/B] 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? [B]Looks like Yamaha, Honda, KTM and Kawasaki dealers are within 30 minutes.[/B] 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? [B]Ideally around $5,000 or less.[/B] 10) Your age? [B]Early 40s.[/B] 11) Do you live in California? [B]Nope.[/B] [/QUOTE]
