Posting this up for a friend as he and I are both pretty ignorant when it comes to dirty bikes. I've quoted him below, it appears he is looking for something he can street, ride some gravel roads, woods trails, etc.
He is 6-3, probably 230lbs. This would be his first "dirty" bike. Looking to spend around $1,500. In his limited research he mentioned a TT-R125LE and DR-Z125L.
Looking for suggestions on what would be a good fit, what to stay away from, what to look for, what model years would fit in his price range, etc. See his comments below. Let me know if there are any other questions I should ask him...
Thanks!
"I guess i just want something easy to ride, something on/off road, something i can just tool around on trails for 1-2 hours on a Saturday morning and then come home.
I kinda picture it being an outlet/relaxing thing. something to just get lost in doing for 1-2 hours and I picture myself caring less about speed and more about easy of use. I read that 4 strokes are easier riding then 2 stokes."
