New To Riding
Hello, I am brand new to bikes and will be purchasing a dual sport dirt bike next month. I recently moved and now have tons of OHV trails right down the street from my neighborhood (live next to a federal forest). I’m a bigger guy at 6’4 240 so I was leaning towards a more “powerful” Chinese bike like a Templar X or Trailmaster 300cc but now that Xpro just released their new 300cc Paladin I may jump on that instead. Either way I’m looking forward to some new adventures soon!

Welcome aboard. As a new rider, you should look into the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and the basic rider courses that they offer. The course was free for me in PA. It was an invaluable learning experience. I was new to motorcycles last year when I bought my Hawk DLX.

Since you’re new to bikes ,how are you at wrenching on them ? That new bike is full of unknown things ,so tweaking ,repairing and figuring out those problems will be totally up to you .
