1) I have short legs (28" inseam) so I can't ride one of those really tall dirt bikes. How do you find data on the seat heights of the IT series?

2) Is there a better (or worse) year for the larger ITs like 400 and larger?

Out here in CA there are many of them at fairly cheap prices for sale and they look loke a great dirt bike.

Thanks for any sugesstions.

the IT series are great bikes.i know of no way to shorten the ride height on the bikes themselves without compromising suspension performance.

all the year model IT400 is good stuff and so is the IT175 and 250.they all have a easy to manage power delivery and are more than fast enough to be entertaining.

I've heard of people shaving the seat for shorter legs. Love your fly shop BTW :)
