well, i think i may have convinced hubby to get into dirt biking...whoo hoo...anyways, i found some TTR125s on kijiji (looking for the LE version) but wondering what i/we should be looking at when we go to look at bikes...i know the normal stuff like tires/tread, brakes, chain...but other than that, how do i know the engine is good (other than starting it) and hasn't been beat upon (i guess looking at the plastics and how it looks cosmetically can give some indication, but they're easily changed out to hide potential problems)...anything else i/we should be looking at?...and stupid question, but since they won't be ridden on the road, do we need insurance like on our street bikes?...and do we need a safety to change ownership?...sorry for the newb questions, but this is our first foray into the dirt riding scene...TIA
