that does not surprise me. It is much harder riding off-road - not much butt time there...sorta reminiscent of straight downhill, no?marie-angelique wrote: my thighs are fried!
the rental bikes were honda xr200's which were nice, but you can't ride them on the street.
anyhoo, the instructor had a new drz400, which he let me test ride on the dirt. if felt a little stiff (since he had adjusted the suspension for his 270 lb self) and it was a bit tall (i could get toes down, but not flat feet) but otherwise it was a nice machine. i asked if he thought a 400 was too much for a beginner, but he said not for me.
anyhoo, i think i am going to shop for a drz400 :)
