Hi there,
So my kids are finally at the age of being able to ride bikes around the paddock. I've been waiting for this moment to provide the excuse to get soemthing with knobblies and learn how to ride off-road properly, been a road rider for 25 yrs but never had the chance on dirt before. We're keen to get a few bikes so the family can ride together but on a budget and so have been looking at the offerings from Forza and Thumpstar. Reading the threads, there doesn't seem to be much long-term owner feedback on them. Are they all dead after a season or two? Do they cost more to keep alive than just buying the usual jap brand bikes? Are they up to regular trail riding??
I'm also keen to know if something like the FMX140 BF or TSX125 BW would be large and powerful enough to keep an 80kg novice rider like me happy for a few yrs? I'm a dirt virgin but always keen to go hard.
Cheers!
