Hi there, My name is Megan. I live in Arlington TX and love moto! I'm trying to get into it my self (and my 6yr old nephew) and could use any suggestions, directions, ideas and so forth and so on.
I have about $2k saved for a bike, plus I've factored in the cost of equipment being around $400 for basic gear (boots and helmet are the most expensive!) I know I want a used bike as I will be crashing quite a bit for some time. I'm trying to decide between a 250 or 450. 2 stroke or 4 stroke. (figuring about an initial cost of 1200 for the kid)
A bit about me and my stats: I'm 33, weight a bit under 200 and I'm working off more, stand 5'8", have only been on a bike a couple times and still need to learn how to shift and the basics. I'm not afraid to get down and dirty and try new things once I get the basics under control. How long does that take?
My nephew is 6, average hight and such, crazy quick reflexes and just about a huge crazy adventurous adrenaline junkie
How much does it cost to actually maintain a bike and what are the most common parts to replace?
THANKS!!!
:-)
