Got into the sport at 38, my son at 12. I got the 230, he got a 150. I'm now on a 450 and he's on a KTM 200. 230's are great bikes. If only they had an aluminum frame and beefier suspension...man would that be great. Loved ours!jt1872001 wrote:im wondering the average age and gender of 230 riders.
This is true! Too bad Honda can't offer it out the door. I'm no engineer, and I don't doubt there's a lot more to it than just molding aluminum in the same shape, but you'd think Honda (and all of their resources) could go aluminum on everything. I realize aluminum is used for weight issues and they tend to concentrate on the bigger bikes when it comes to that. The 230 is a "play" bike meant for generally easy riding, but that bike could really rock if you were able to take away the extra 500 lbs of steel.krisrtch wrote:Hey Nedirtbikr BBR does make a aluminum frame for the 230 but heck might as well buy a 250 or 450 for the price the want for it.
