Answer 1

It depends a lot on how aggressive you plan to ride. The CRF230 is a great bike (just sold one several months ago) but you can't do any real jumping on it. It is a heavy bike with bad suspension but also very fun to trail ride. You can add the BBR stiffer springs but you still have crappy suspension, just stiffer crappy suspension. If you plan to ride on an MX track and do a lot of jumping you will need to go with a MX bike like the CRF250R or a serious woods bike like the CRF250X. Either of these bikes will seem a little tall at first but you'll get used to it. I don't reccommend a 125 for a beginner because the power delivery is much harder to get used to than on a 250 4 stroke. The 125 is cheaper however, so if cost is an issue you could go with the 125. It will be harder to learn on the 125 since it needs to be ridden at a higher RPM than a 250F, but again you'll get used to it eventually. If you go with a 125 I would stick with the YZ 125. So here are all of the possible bikes for you in my opinion. Honda CRF250R, CRF250X, Yamaha YZ250F, YZ125, WR250F, Suzuki RM-Z250, Kawasaki KX250F, KTM SX-F250, XC-F250.

Answer 2

fairly the motorcycles for somebody your age wreck down into 2 categories. Play motorcycles (path motorcycles) and race motorcycles. Take Honda case in point. you have a CRF150R it somewhat is a race motorbike and a CRF150F it somewhat is a play or path motorbike. Your opposition motorcycles would be water cooled and your play/path motorcycles would be air cooled, however the adjustments do no longer provide up there. it fairly is a sturdy thank you to tell them aside although. fairly a contest motorbike would be lots speedier, lots lighter, and have lots extra ideal suspension. that is going to additionally fee lots extra desirable than the direction motorcycles. that is not any longer possible, interior a useful funds, to make a play/path motorbike paintings virtually besides as a real opposition motorbike. you fairly purely would desire to examine what form of driving you intend to do. while you're purely cruising the paths and not doing any huge jumps a path motorbike is high quality. in case you intend to race MX or woods you prefer a real race motorbike.

Answer 3

If you want to do jumps and things like that I'd check out a Yamaha YZ125. I am a trail rider and have a 2004 Yamaha TT-R 125LE and love it. Not a thing has gone wrong with it. And it is NOT for sale so don't even ask.

Answer 4

I'd get a honda myself. Get a 230 you'll like it. Honda's last forever too.

Answer 5

Purchase a Suzuki 125cc or 185cc....... you won't be disappointed......... I have rode both....
