Hey guys,
Looking to buy my first bike fairly soon. Decided it is going to be a dual purpose bike.
Here is what I have found locally.
1985 XT350
1985 XL350R
or the expensive 1993 DR350.
Now keep in mind money is a large issue right now being fresh out of school with massive loans, and not much pay coming in
I am looking for a commuter bike that will be fun in the trails. I am also planning on doing some highway driving. Does anyone have any comments on the above? I know everyone is going to say how good the DR350 is(I've searched), and how weak the XT350 is, but can anyone give me some reasonable explanations?
Does anyone know some common problems with the bikes listed above, maybe something I could look for when I go take a look-see this weekend.
Thanks,
Colten
