Its a toy for a grown man to ride. Kawi came out with those new KLXs the 250 and 450. Kawi has always been known for there crazy power. Heres some advice pick what color you like best and get a 250 at the very least. You will be disappointed with a aircooled engine and ####ty suspension i PROMISE. Btw how old is ur girl?

Oh man, she's only turned 2 last May. Like I say it will be a few years before I get her one. BTW, I get it with the Kawi 140 and the Honda 230. So, Kawi does have an eqiuvelant to the CRF250X? I would imagine so. I will check out their web site. But when it's all said and done I will more than likely get a Yammaha. But even though she has atleast 2 and a half years to go, I still want to ride some.

I tell ya what guys, I had such a good time riding that little Honda 100. It brought back so many good memories. Theres nothing like it. And my little girl is just motorcycle crazy LOL! She walks around with a helmet on! That girl loves to ride. I rode her on that Honda 100. She had a helmet on of course. I took it real easy. She would cry every time I tried to stop and get her off. I actually plan on getting the wife a bike too. She is interested as well. I guess thats why I'm a little anxious about all this.

Go here ThumperTalk and start reading and posting, report back. Maybe see you in a year or 2 
The 250X is a great all around bike, I've moto'd mine and trail ridden the crap out of it. You can putt putt around on it with your kid no problem, a regular 250R will be spitting up all of the coolant in no time.
Anyways, here's the current state of my 450......piston/rings just came in today. Suspension just came back, got to do the bearings and everything else.....ssshhhhhh don't tell the wife, she already saw all of the boxes. I told her it was stuff for work:msp_tongue:

That yzf of mine got 2nd place in bike of the month on thumpertalk. It was several years ago. I love motocross its my passion but for some reason i dont like going to forums or even watching the races on tv! I couldnt tell ya who the big deal is now a days. Kevin Windam is still my favorite, but i dunno if he even races still. I guess i was to busy AT the track RIDING instead of sitting in front of my tv.

You dont have to explain man. I know what you mean. It's that way w/ a lot of people. When I was in law enforcement I hated watching COPS CSI any cop show what so ever. It's just like that. But man, your big time to get 2nd place with that crew. Its HUGE. They have Toyota commercials on the site. Have you ever had any real bad injuries?

Its not a bike but here is my raptor 660. I started on 2 wheels then got into quads. My brother bought a RM80 bigwheel and its a lil ripper. I decided to take it for a spin and well came back with some nasty road rash. Guess im alittle rusty now. I would go with at least a 250 4 stroke, anything less is underpowered. The enduro 2 strokes are great too, Like the KDX 200, 220 and the RMX series. Awesome power but a more predictable powerband.

Ive had 3 concussions because of Mx, never have broke a bone. I dont wear a leatt brace either or a chest protector. In a few of my pics i have a leatt brace on only because it has an ipod mount and i wanted to listen to music. Its my buddys leatt, i just never got around to buying one. Chest protectors are just to hot in the summer.

Cool man, I bet riding and listening to music is way fun. Well, I think I may have found a good deal. I was already to go shopping fo a 250, new or used, when i happened on a 2007 very nice CRF 150 for 1k. Ya know, I think i will get this bike. It would be plenty for what i need now. And that is something I can just play around on and get my bearings back with plus ride my little girl and wife around the yard with. I'm gonna go check out this Sunday if not sooner.
