[QUOTE="Agent 007, post: 1325754, member: 100805"] I am trying to get into some desert/dunes type riding. I live in Las Vegas, so I don't have many choices of riding types here. I used to ride trials a long time ago when I lived on the east coast, but that's not an option out here. What do you guys think I should buy? I am really leaning towards the KTM 200XC or KTM 200SX. I figured that might be the perfect amount of power for me, but I wanted to hear other opinions first. 1) your physical size (both height and weight are important) [B]about 5'9" 130lbs[/B] 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? [B]not too aggressive to start with, but i may get more aggressive as i learn my bike better[/B] 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? [B]desert/dunes/trails/mountain ridges/maybe a bit of mx too... riding with a friend mostly[/B] 4) Do you have any riding experience? [B]i grew up riding trials with rocks, woods, etc....[/B] 5) Do you think you will race ? [B]not anytime soon, possibly sometime in the future[/B] 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? [B]my buddy that i will be riding with does his own work, so i can learn most of it myself[/B] 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? [B]i would love to own a KTM, most likely a 2 stroke[/B] 8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry? [B]all types[/B] 9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? [B]really don't want to spend more than $3,000 if possible[/B] 10) Do you live in California? [B]no, Las Vegas[/B] 11) Your age? [B]i am 26[/B] Thanks for your advice and opinions...... [/QUOTE]
