trail bike?

[rockjumper]

<div>I am looking for a trail bike for riding trails in the mountains and mid state for NC. I'm about 6' and roughly 190lb. I'd like something for mild hill clibs, shooting around the trails and putting the bike in the back of my truck without much trouble.... This would be an addition for trips where I go wheeling in a jeep. So far I've been thinking on the ttr125L or LE. I want somehting somewhat lightweight and maneuverable but strong enough to have a good time on. No interest in racing.. would this bike be a good choice?</div>

<div>The little 125 will move you but not very fast. Think it's just faster than a moped but not by much. Fun little bike but I think you'll want more power for those hill climbs. I've ridden a buddies.</div><div> </div><div> The yamaha TW200 might make a nice little trail machine for you and it's street legal. A bit heavy and pricey compared to the TTR but if you don't mind used, you can find em fairly cheap.</div><div> </div><div> I would advise you to look around the 200-300cc range. If you don't mind the weight of a full size offroader, look at the XR400 by honda. They are fantastic bikes.</div>

<div>Wow. Honda introduces a teeny bike that weighs more than my 520EXC and makes 1/4 the HP. Good luck with that.</div><div> </div><div>They'll probably sell in droves.</div>

<div>I'm looking for something like the CRF230L for short 10 min commute to work in urban area and occasional trail rides. The Suzuki DRZ250s used is cheaper than the Honda new since the Honda is a new for 2008 model. Decent seat height on the Honda, lower center of gravity, too. I'm 6', 145 lbs 33&quot; pant inseam. What do you guys suggest?</div>
