    Whats a nice bike?

    I was just curious to see what a "nice" bike in your guys eyes were. We all have our different qualifications and depending on your answers i might have to post a pic of what i call a "nice" bike.

    Thanks

    I would say dune machines! They stay so clean that its actually worth building a nice bike. Around here in PA I would maybe fix up a bike but never a full restore to go out and ride it. I wouldnt buy a mint atc and go trail riding with it like my 200x. As long as it runs and isnt completely mangled its nice in my book. A few simple things to fix it up and its trail worthy to me. On mine I got new plastics, repainted some things, exhaust, tires, chain, sprockets, forks etc. Its not pretty buts it perfect for trails.

    I would consider mine "decent" compared to half the kids quads. They go out and trash them and go buy a new one and repeat. Half of them are pieced together with all different year parts. Most of them are painted black with stone guard. Cant forget the deer antlers on the bars
    1986 200x- old school D.I.D wheels, Gold D.I.D X-Ring Chain, Rad MFG. Carrier, PRM Grab Bar, Pro Circuit T-4 custom, Maier plastics, 85x forks, 18x10.5x8 kenda klaw mxr's on itp steels, the money pit never ends

    2004 YFZ450 - CP 12.5:1, cam mod , gibson nerfs, hmf pipe, protaper bars + risers, dg bumper/skids, holeshot gncc's on itps, cycra handguard and more stuff to come.

    If you're talking "bike" as in two wheels, I'd go with a good ole 250 2-stroke. Low maintenance, plenty of go-jo and if it's setup right you can have fun on trails or the track. My older race bike (way back in the day, 1993) was setup for track, but then when I got older I had more fun on trails, hill climbs and smaller (40-90 ft.) table tops or doubles. I think I have a picture some where... (hold)

    Now don't get me wrong, this thing ain't mint... but she runs mighty fine and will hurt you if not careful I'd still like to give a CRF450 a shot... But I don't know... I guess it all comes down to something that you can have fun on
