[QUOTE="HeyWaitUp, post: 165321, member: 1715"] Thanks guys! I'm thinking something along the lines of a CRF230F for myself. I've been dirt biking twice in my life with a friend and the first time I rode a KTM EXC400 and the second time was another KTM 2-stroke 200 (my buddy I went with was big into KTM). I found the 400 a little big and hard to handle (especially since for the first hour I was trying to turn the thing like a street bike) and the second time we went I had a blast on the two stroke. Was much lighter, and I loved the powerband and the freewheeling off the throttle. Being on a limited budget, I figure I can start on a 230/250 something (just something to get both my son and I out on the trails at the same time!) and upgrade later down the road. Or better yet, slowly install all the goodies to make it a nicer ride. Half the fun for me is learning to wrench on them with my son... Any input on a reliable fun ride for a 6'0" 215lb guy that doesn't break the bank would be appreciated! [/QUOTE]
