Once again, good luck with your purchase I wouldn't nessassarly say the questions you asked are dumb, but just pick up a copy MXAs Bike shootout and all quesstions about all the bikes will be answered Also, just this one last thing, I reccomend you stop by boarders and buy this book, it's helped me a ton, I vowed to reccomend it
http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Motocross-Off-Road-Riding-Techniques/dp/0760318026
Its a bit old, but really useful, mine has been passed around endless times to friends

Thanks for that I'll take a look ! I read the reviews, sounds good ! I'll do that. I'm lucky actually there are quite a few tracks round where i live

Ok guys, I've taken everything you've said into consideration, I will go out and buy a bike, I will pick my favorite color (team green), I'll have my suspention worked for my weight, I'll make the investment in proper gear (already got my gloves 'yaay'), I'll stop asking dumb questions like "Which bike has a better bottom end??", yup I agree like with most things it's more the user than the tool, I will upload pics and vids when I can, I'l also watch out for that fast 85 kid when I get to my local track . I'll probably be getting my bike late this year so when I do, I'll let you guys know. Thanks for all the input people !

There are no dumb questions.

The reason we're telling you to just go buy a bike is because after you start riding you'll realize that a lot of the stuff doesn't really matter. And the stuff you might've thought didn't matter, actually does.

IMO gear selection is more important, feel free to create a thread on that if you need to. However be warned that everyone has their own brand loyalty.

BTW Good choice on the Team Green.

FYI when I got my first bike I did a lot of research on the different brands etc. Only to end up picking my favorite color (Kawi or Suzuki), Green won.

Yes true, I can imagine, that acctually it doesn't matter what brand it is, I'd just be happy to be on a bike ! Cause whatever it is it's gonna be fun . But all the better if it just plain looks awesome like the Kawi . But what I can imagine is that I would care if my feet hurt from crappy boots or my brains are falling out cos i took a fall with a cheap helmet..
Haha yeah go Kawi
Some quite diverse tracks here in southwest England, from flatter stuff to a whole valley turned into a race course !

Yup don't skimp on gear, it's only your life we're talking about.

I think I wear pretty close to $2k worth of gear.

One of my dreams is to someday take a trip across The Pond, also ride there if possible.

Immaround 1k in gear, add everything up. Or corse, I don't have alot of duplicates.

Duplicates? I was referring to what I'm actually wearing while on the bike, not my complete gear selection sitting in my garage.

uhhhhhhhhhh I'm gonna have to add some stuff up

 

[yamadogyz]

Actually i never thought about it, I have over 900$ on the bike considering my Leatt is an Adventure and my boots are Comp 5s

My Leatt and Asterisks are $1k alone.

uhhh I'll blow my knee out first

 

[James]

uhhh I'll blow my knee out first

If I remember right the surgery on one of my knees was $11k and the other was $13k. So I'll spend the $600 now for added insurance on the little stuff (ie. foot/leg grabs a rut in a corner).

I'm pretty confidant that they've helped me already, due to how I landed and the bruises I got.

Do they have very good used prices?? I've considered but they seems to cost a little..actually ALOT too much

That's something I wouldn't buy used (along with boots, neck brace, and especially helmets) as you don't know if anythings happened to them already (broken/fatigued).

Here's pretty much all of them are here.

Wow, Fox? Shift?
Yeah one of my dreams is to visit the US and find the nice tracks ! Any recomendations for good states or areas for MX tracks? Of course I'd like to go see Budds Creek! Yeah if you come over here go to Southwest England, especially Devon! The middlands and Wales are good for MX too. I can't believe I'm saying this, but for some tricky 'different' tracks go to France. But down here in Devon you get a great variety like I said earlier on. Seriously, one of my local tracks is both sides of a valley, with a mud bridge to get over the river !
