Old man trail bike question

If you are looking for something inexpensive and easy to maintain i would suggest a Big Wheel Honda CR85RB. The Big wheel has 16" rear and 19" front wheel with excellent suspension. If you shop you should be able to find one for $1000 in good condition. You can easily do a top end rebuild for $120 when needed.

These are great little 2 strokes and do well in the woods.

Old school is ok, but the suspension, brakes and carb. are also old school and most likely wore out.

Forget your passion and buy a bike to ride or not and buy an old school and work on it instead of riding it.
