[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 194736, member: 1650"] If you go used there are lots of very good japanese trailbikes both new and used. Where you ride it and how you ride it should determine what you look for and as Jackson says let your budget dictate. My strongest suggestion is that if you do plan some trail riding and the trails are tight with slow sections, y ou wont be very happy learning on a race bike. So stay away from things that were intended for racing, XR's, DR's, TTr's etc will suit you nicely. In fact for a guy your size a bike that has proven to be reliable and decent in a wide variety of riding situations is a DRZ 400 (suzuki). they come in street legal versions even. some with electric start etc. Anytime I see them they are priced pretty reasonably compared to a Honda XR in like condition. You wont outgrow it fast. even cheaper are the air cooled DR 350's and 250's. I am really Honda oriented, but for deals with a decent amount of aftermarket support the DR's and DRZ's are worth a look. [/QUOTE]
