Hey guys...
So I just joined the forum, and I was wondering if some you more experienced riders could help me make a decision. I used to ride when I was a kid, but it has been many years, so last year I decided to try and get back into riding and I bought a 2012 KTM 450 SX F. The bike is a beast, the power and the gearing are quite crazy for a guy who is just trying to get back into riding so I think I bit off more then I could chew as the old saying goes...I am 6'1 230 lbs. so I can handle the size of the bike, but the SX F is more of a track bike when I want go trail riding instead. The bike is geared so high that it's not very functional for a beginner who wants to ride on a trail. I've thought about trading it in on a quad or utv, but honestly dirt biking is awesome and I think maybe I just bought the wrong bike to get back into the sport. If you guys could give me any advice that would be really helpful, thanks so much...
