[QUOTE="CycleRob, post: 406311, member: 33650"] Howdy. I've been riding streetbikes for 6 years; mostly cruisers/tourers, though I did recently start riding a sportbike. I'm starting to think about getting into offroad. I think most of my riding will be trails, though there are tracks around that I might want to try. I don't see myself ever racing moto or other though. I'm 5' 10" and 190lbs. So two questions. First, size of bike. Should I be looking at 250s or 400s (or something else)? Second, type of bike. From the information I have pieced together about the offroad styles, I am gravitating to XRs and KLXs rather than CRs or KXs. Is the major difference between these styles suspension (and maybe 2 vs 4 stroke in some sizes)? It seems I'll have more comfort and control on trails with an XR/KLK; but limited jumping ability for a motocross track. Is this correct and are there any other key differences to consider? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
