Well.. the Kona is a Dirt/Road bike.. And thats what i going to use it for..

There are LOTS of trials were i live a always use my bike to get around.. like going to local shops.. School..N sumtime skate park.

There are jumps around me and because the Kona is a like a good bike for Begginer in the Jumping Seen.. (thats what i read in the descrition), and thats me, but i already do like lil jumps on my BMX that.. but nuthing to big.

its like $850.. for it. if sell my moto for like $600 i got to save up like $200 n then i can get it.

 

[coolmodee01]

keep ya moto and save ya penny's bro

you may regret the sale

 

[red_demon24]

have you looked at any other bikes apart from them 2?
i used to full on ride but know not so much just the ocassional but the bikes i would recomend for your type of riding are:
kona= shred, stuff, cowan, five-0.
norco= ryde, 125, 250, 4-hun.
giant= stp0,1,2.
they are the main brand bikes you can check out just make sure you dont go out and buy a bike thinkin "oh sick i brought a new bike its sick as" and then in 2 months time you wish you had got a different bike, so deffinatley check into all the bikes before you go making your decission.
good luck.

the brakes on the first one are crap. i have mx4's on my tredaly. i had to upgrade the front rotor to a 9 inch, then they worked good, but always are needing adjusting.

but all the bits can be upgraded as you need, just buy form overseas cos it is atleast half the price even with the shipping
