[QUOTE="TurtleShifter, post: 133809, member: 217"] Riding the dunes on a motorcycle is really for a more experienced rider. A bike's front end tends to wash out and dive quite a bit and requires a lot of body movement to keep it going in a straight line. Cresting a razorback (top of a dune) is a completely unique experience on a bike. A quad gives you a sense of security that will be a totally different experience on a bike. I personally would never take my motorcycle to Glamis. It's just my personal preference, but the wear and tear the sand puts on a bike, to me just isn't worth it. The king of the sand on a motorcycle would be a CR500:thumb: The desert is a great place to get re-acquainted with motorcycle riding. It offers everything from fire roads to sand washes to single track to hill climbs to whoops:foul:. In the current environment, there are good debates going on between the newer 2 strokes and 4 strokes. For me, I am sticking with the 4 strokes for now and with your size and weight, I don't think you could go wrong with either a Yamaha WR450 or a Honda 450X. There are lot's of options out for you. Good luck in your search and welcome to the site and back into the sport:clap: [/QUOTE]
