Hiya everyone. The missus has expressed a desire to jump on a dirtbike!
I have just got my full license, she's happy as a pig in sh!t on the back of the roadie. I've been riding dirt bikes on and off since I was six and would love to get out in the dirt again.
No troubles deciding what bike for myself - probably a two-stroke of some sort. That's unless a four-stroke can woo me, but I doubt it. I was raised on two-strokes and I can't get past the SNAP.
For the missus though: She's slight of frame (not a weakling though) and 5'2". Both bikes would need to be registered, so we can ride to the bush. Theres plenty of riding to be done around our town/city.
Thinking any one of the following:
Honda CRF230L (805mm seat height)
Suzuki DR-Z250 (890mm seat)
Suzuki DR-Z400S (935mm seat.. BUT SHE LIKES BLACK!)
Yamaha TT-R250 (910mm seat)
Yamaha XT250 (810mm seat)
Any other suggestions? I think it is probably between the Honda CRF230L and the Yamaha XT250, simply because of the small size/weight, and they both look road ready.
Can anyone offer other options? Happy with second-hand. Her favourite colours on a bike are Black and Silver, she didn't mid red. Didn't like the Blue of the Yamahas, Yellow of the Suzis and definitely not the Green of the Kwakas... women are women, gotta love them for the fact that colour is most important!
Cheers!
