The last time I rode or owned a bike was in 2001. I ended up getting a 2006 RM 250. Not the prettiest but everything seems pretty tight. Going to ride it a few times this year when time permits and strip it down over the winter. I've ridden it twice so far and she goes pretty good. Suspension is a little soft so I want to get it done for my weight. All in all it seems like a good starting point to make a nice looking/running bike. Any input would great!

nice find, good luck
There are some great posts on here with some good ideas for my winter build.
Yeah, I seem to have developed a slight fear of the big jumps. When I was in my teens I barely thought twice before hitting them, now that I'm close to 40, 3 kids and a business to run I don't want to take many chance's. Plus the suspension is set up for a guy about 30lbs lighter than me and I don't have total confidence in how the bike will handle if I over jump or come up short. Corner speed hasn't slowed down though. Lol
Fitness wise, I've raced expert level XC MTB for 15 yrs. Also ride 200-400 km a week on my road bike.
The first ride out I had no problem doing 30min Moto's. My hands were tired because I wasn't used to holding on to something with an engine.
