im going to get in to dirt bikes for another hobby. what are some good companys out there and companys to stay away from. i was thinking ktm or handa. but i dont kow thats why im asking. thank...
i have a KTM 250 exc, my dad has a 300 exc, and all the guys we ride with have KTMs. i have had hondas and suzukis in the past, but i won't ride anything else now. hope this helps...
well i had a honda cr250, 2 stroke, it was my first bike, and i dont recommend it being your first, needless to say i sold it a month after i got it before i killed myself
GET A 125 HONDA OR YAMAHA OTHER WISE IF UR GOING TO GET A 4 STROKE GET A 250 FOR YEAR FIRST BIKE. IF U HAVE RIDDEN BEFORE AND WEIGH MORE THAN A BUCK 70 THEN GET A 250. I DONT GIVE 2 FUKS WHAT ANYONE SAYS U CAN BE A BEGINER & STILL RIDE A 250. I MEAN C'MON ITS U TWISTING THE THORTTLE FEED THE GAS THAT CAN PUT U ON UR ASS. "LOL"
Im not saying i couldnt ride it, i rode it just fine, it is just if he was like me, if i know it goes fast, im gonna go fast, im gonna push the limits, so therefore, i sold it before i hurt myself
ive been riding for a long time now. Ive had dirt bikes before, right now im more in to atvs. Ive been riding for about 10 years and i wouldnt have anything other than a honda. Ive taken mine to hell and back..
dont bother with four stroke 250's
they are 10 mph slower than a 450
and a 450 is better to learn on
250s will lug out and if you arent experienced enough to make it scream to get the power out of it you wont go far
you can bog a 450 down in 3rd gear up a hill and get on the throttle nd it will get up and go
not to mention in a month when your ready for it you wont want a bigger bike
as far as companies
kxf 450 made by kawasaki is the hottest 450 out right now
and their 250 is too
susuki rmz 450 isnt far off
honda and yamaha are great bikes
if you get a ktm you wont ride anything else for the rest of your life
great bikes
but sooo expensive to fix broken ktm parts
i dont know about your states regulations but in california you cant ride red sticker bikes from july til september wich is the best months to ride... and four stroke bikes are red sticker.. unless its either 2006 or newer or 2002 or older
two strokes are great too
but if your a bigger guy
go with 4 stroke
any bike you get will be fun
just make sure you get a good helmet and boots and dont ride in jeans..
You can get into riding minis. They are dope. I have Hondas and Kawasakis. I prefer the smaller minis suchs as the Z50s, the CRF50s, and XR50s. I have a bad ass KLX110 that sounds like a 250.
