Hello and welcome Darren. It seems quite common that experienced road riders think they need something like a 600 when they start trail riding,like anything smaller will see them going back to the days of a 250 on L plates. Your choice of bike should depend on your trail riding experience and the kind of trail riding you want to do but my advice to any novice would be small and light to start with, when the going gets tough I think you'll be glad your not riding some 600 enduro.
I agree with This , Especially if your short of leg ...!
We have A "meet The TRF Stand "
At Wickwar Enduro Track south Glous on the 7th May come along say hello , sit on a few bikes see what you think ...
Thanks for the welcome all.
I'll most likely only have once chance at buying a bike for this... I already have two bikes in for restoration and the ZZR for a daily. Don't think the missus will approve further budget once purchased - I'm struggling to get a P.O. for this one! ;o)
I hear what you're saying about a 600 being too big, and I suspect the TTR would be far to heavy for a beginner. Having looked into it further, I also suspect running something like a WRf would also involve a lot of maintenance with oil & filter changes every 10 hours, etc.
Wickwar is not far from me (Bradley Stoke), but I'll not be able to make that date (prior commitments). Is there another meet soon after?
