FWIW I started riding again last fall after a couple of years off, maybe one ride a year or so. Got together with some of my old motocross buddies, laid out some twisty singletrack on another buddies farm and couldn?t help but notice we are ALL riding early 2000 or late 90?s bikes.Back in the day we would buy new bikes every year, but man these days bikes are so much more expensive and we don?t race anymore. I look at it this way, my 05? 300 Gas Gas is capable of going way faster than I am able to ride it. So if I spend $10,000 on a new bike am I going to go that much faster, or have that much more fun? ?We? in our little crew cannot justify it in our opinions, but hey I’ll also be the first to admit that we are also generally frugal with our hard earned money (Cheap). Everyone is different though, some people have to have ?the new? this or that.
