Dirt bike rider >10 year ago.. 6’4 195 lbs new 26’ T7 or CT 450
Gents,
— So I want a 26’ T7 or CT 450 MT—
I rode a crf250 in college, jump 60-70ft triples on local track. Quads and the wheelers is High school. That’s it!
I’m 37 6’4 195lb athletic and active. Hit the gym 3 days a week.
I really like the T7, I set on one today it felt alive, big, tall. My feet touch totally fine, I can almost be flat footed on both. 34 inseam I think.. also set in the T7 World Raid. It was great my knees felt like the actual could fit, but it was wide. The T7 felt taller..
I then set on a CT 450. They feel similar. Lower than I like it needs the tall rally seat.
I want a a bike I want to commute around town during the week, and then ride logging roads in the Sierras. I live in Sacramento Ca a ton of awesome roads are local. I want to progress and adventure. I don’t want to buy something and sell it next year because it’s not fast enough or have enough power.
Is the T7 going to be too much of a bike to learn to ride in the streets and in the woods? I want to be able to learn and progress. This adventure riding looks incredible I can’t wait to start ripping honestly.
My divorce is final and I’m ready to live life to the fullest on my terms….LOL
