Hi All.

It's much too late and I've been scouring the posts and forums here for the better part of 2 hours before signing in. The past 2 weeks has been nothing but research for me to make a decision on a dirt bike and toys for my family. I have come into some property up in the mountains of BC (36 acres) and thought it would be fun to have some toys for myself and the family.

I've always wanted a dirt bike for some fun riding, nothing serious just some zipping around on some trails. Having never ridden one, and being a big bastard (6'6, 260lbs) I'm struggling with getting something easy to learn on versus long term enjoyment power wise, plus reliability of a Chinese low dollar versus power or longevity of a larger cc Japanese product.

I have narrowed it down to a used Yamaha, or a Giovanni from www.giovannibikes.com. I have picked out the new X35 with the Loncin OHC powerplant.

Does anyone have experience with this bike, this seller, and any insight to the on going issue in my brain that due to my size might not be all that reliable for me due to me being such a little guy.

Here's a link to the ride.

Thanks All!
