If you have never ridden before, you should start out on a mild little trail bike, to learn on. Chances are you will be ready for a bigger bike after a few months, so buy a used bike. If you shop around, chances are you can sell the beginner bike for what you paid for it. I would suggest a 4 stroke dirt bike. 200 cc or less. Aviod the 2 stroke motorcross bikes; they are more difficult to learn on. Once you have some experience, you can move up to a bigger, better and newer bike and not risk killing yourself. |

Re: please help me
Hey man. I have a brother there close to Louisville. He bought a new XR650L and a CRF50 recently too. He might be able to get you a line on a cool salesman (we always rode Hondas since we were younger).
Send me an e-mail and I'll give you his number. He also might want to come out and see where you ride. Seems like there's a place behind his house where peeps meet and ride. Be cool!!!!!!!!!! ---TEX--- |

cr 500r
ha ha ha j/k go with a newer xr 200, they are easy to ride and fun. great beginner bike. than after a few months get the 500 once you build up enough muscle to handle the bike you wont be sorry, until then buy life insurance

Re: please help me
I had a CR450 when they came out in '81. Some friends had a YZ490 and a CR480. Really brutal bkes.
You have to be a real man to ride an open 2-stroke aggressively. You could get thrown on your @$$ really fast. |

Re: please help me
If money is not a big deal look at the Honda CRF250X... It is a 4-stroke (easy power), it is MX capable with a few mods (only slightly different from the CRF250R), It is woods capable (it is the R ser up for woods), it is fast, and you won't quickly outgrow it.
This advice is all assuming you are a typical American adult male... 5'6"-5'10", 145-180 lbs, reasonbly aggresive riding desires, want to ride both MX and CC.... |
