Strega 0 Posted September 25, 2009 My friend Jenny is looking for a bike, and I've been telling her a Dual Sport is the ONLY way to go. She's new to riding, but been around bikes for a long time. I think a CRF230L or a WRR250 would be good for her so I just wanna see if you'll all keep your eyes out for anything in that range that's for sale. Thanks for the assistance, as I can't be looking at Craig's List all the time, hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She oughta snag a 230L or TTR - low and cheap......... The WR250R has too high of a seat, it's too expensive, and it's more bike in terms of suspension, etc. than she needs for her mission....no sense throwing money away.......unless you're looking for her to get a bike so YOU can ride it....then I'd strongly suggest a WR250R :clapping: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaynen 0 Posted September 25, 2009 I think the weight on the WR250R might be a little much too. It has 1" or so of stock adjustment, you can get a 1.5" yamalink, and probably take another inch out of the seat foam but still looking at 32+ seat height Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lemieuxmc@yahoo.com 0 Posted September 26, 2009 My wife had an XR230 with a Baja Designs kit that she really liked. Now she has a DR 200, nice little bike if you get one on the cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted September 26, 2009 Let me add my 1 1/2 cents DR200 (as mentioned) KLR250 XT 225 TW200 Air cooled is perfect, and seat height is mega-important for newbs...those bikes should all be found for cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akcooper9 0 Posted September 29, 2009 My friend Jenny I think the real question is...is Jenny just a friend or is Jenny a "lady friend" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted September 29, 2009 MAN... you guys are all so nosey... Is she the one you brought to the Ruby Room? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strega 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Jenny is the girl I dated previously yes. She's looking for a bike and I said I would help. Bob, I'm not sure if you've met Jenny, she was at Truckhaven with me when I met Ken, Tracy, Paul, etc. This was some time ago. Doug, I went skydiving with my friend Andrea from high school, not Jenny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strega's Love Life "As The World Turns" Is there a thread devoted to Roger's love life? I remember him actually starting one about a year ago. Can anyone dig it up? Maybe we can help him out. I am still waiting for an invite to see her father's motorcycle collection. It was supposed to be pretty impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure you are a great cook too Paul-but dining with you just wouldn't be the same as dining with my sweetie. Hijack finished. Now back to Rogers lovelife-uh friend's bike. Measure the inseam. Touching the ground with the feet is a big deal with short ladies. Tish has tried many bikes over the years and that and kick starting was always her main concern. I suspect most ladies are button types. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
