Re: Looking for a mud bike
I have a 2004 CRF250X for sale. C-cycle suspension set up for a lighter rider (170lb I think?). Bike needs nothing. Lighter than most 250 playbikes and better suspension. Electric start:wiggle: and kickstart. Also has street title; Ride on the road, ride in the trails. Maybe a little over your budget at $2000 though. It's on CL in the RI section if you want to see pics.

KDX200. Done. There is no other. At least start there. If you want/need more (doubtful), you can sell it and get your money back to start over. I am an old dirt rider. I have owned them all (or most of them). The KDX has no equal. It can be whatever you want it to be. For any adult looking to get started in dirt riding, the KDX is always the only bike I would advise them to start with.

I'd rock one in a heartbeat! The big problem is they make my KTM seem relatively affordable.

If you've never ridden a big smoker before, you really need to. Even you Diz. With Paul's permission, of course. (Giggles)

+1 Torque comes in at lower RPM and in a controllable way. Great for riding in the woods , but still some grunt when you want it.

That's what you've been encouraging her to get all along. Make up your mind.

My current thinking is that I'll pick up a YZ-125, seems like it's a good tool for learning as well as a very friendly bike to service. Great supply of aftermarket and OEM parts available too.
