Now I want a dirt bike to ride around a forrest preserve next to my house and just to ride around, not racing or to do jumps / tricks with.
The sales man recommended the CRF150F to me and said for my body it will fit me like a glove. I sat on it, felt pretty good. Do you guys recommend that bike for me?
The dealer said they are reliable and it would cost me about $4,000 with tax. Now as a first bike should I buy it new, or used. Should I asked for used bikes and would other stores sell used or purely new.
woops, wrong topic sorry. Please still answer if you can help though!

I am 23 yrs old


HTH
PS:I'm looking for something that I can take off road and play with not a super fast racing bike.

- Pick up Dirt Rider magazine. They always have a classifieds section and reviews of products and bikes, check out what they say are some good deals.
- Peruse your Sunday paper. People often sell second-hand dirtbikes in the paper, check that out. Make some calls and see what people have to offer.
- Hang out at your local track. People are ALWAYS bringing excess bikes to the track and setting them up with For Sale signs. Those guys know their stuff too so they will usually ask a fair price.
- Make sure you do your research. Talk to the gys at your local dealers and have them make suggestions for you. They can recommend bikes for the way you ride or tell you about features you might look for. That way when you DO find somehting for sale, you know what you're looking for and what to ask.
- Lastly, check out this website for tips, tricks and an online marketplace.

Good luck!

LOL i loved the it has a basket case answers Too funny!

Do not get discouraged, a good deal is not found every day, but you have to look every day and be ready to strike when you find one. Remember you may see hundreds for sale, but you only need to find one.
If you live in the Long beach Ca. area email me and I will give you one that needs repair.
look at:
www.craigslist.org
www.recycler.com
good luck, be safe when you do get one.
remember following the laws is part of it your dad will appreciate, and bumps, scrapes, are part of it so your mom will be on you to be safe.
