[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 206682, member: 1650"] Ok, you live in florida, so you don't have anything that I would call a hill. You like "extreme" and are probably good at working or going to school all scraped up allready. You could start with something like one of the larger xr's like a 400 and learn a lot on something that is reliable. If you can find a clean 250cc 2 stroke, I think that would be better yet. the honda cr's and yamaha yz 250 modify easily as offroader trail bikes and the later versions (99 on) have good enough suspensions and easy upgrades to do all the "flying" you want. Suzuki had an excellent RMX line, but those are all older rigs now and may be pretty worn. Any KTM from around 99 forward that is two stroke could easily be made to work too. Yamaha wr250 two strokes prior to 2000 and though they are rare they are worth a look. Fast and reliable. The 6 speed 125's are also great, but if there is much sand in your future, I would lean towards the 250 two stroke. If i was buying new this year I would see yamaha about their new offroad rigs, or KTM. Got 9k it would be a good way to go. [/QUOTE]
