"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
maint will be depending on wear you go. properl cleaning after most rides, treat it like a dirt bike if you plan to use it correctly.
im not sure how awesome they would be here, all depends if oyu have a group that would ride w/ you through the cut of shennendoah or something, or getting to that awesome fishing spot.

specifically, i'm looking at something old, with little to no power, and less than $1500.
there is a '90 honda nx125 in "great shape" that i'm waiting on pics on cl... for $995 how could i go wrong assuming it runs? is 7hp far too little to have any fun on? plan is to basically use it as a scooter around town and maybe a handful of times per year, hit a trail.

I think Chapin has a DR350, you should ask him about it.
But why not just put knobbies and a dirtbike bar on the VFR?

because it's still not fixed... and not nimble AT ALL.

A 125 air cooled 4-stroke is going to be miserable.
Get a 250/350.

i first learned on a yamaha xt225 - they should be pretty cheap and the one i rode on for the MSF was a lot of fun. apparently i didn't even know when i was popping wheelies - it was also air cooled if i remember correctly
that's about all i have for a contribution for this thread :-P
i dunno guys... a grand? this thing could be fun:

So, I do own a '99 DR350SE. It's at my father-in-law's place at the moment, because I wasn't riding it at all.
$1200 and it's yours. Email me if you're interested.
