Im trying to learn now, and I already quit twice on it. im 14-3 years old.
Don't give up. You'll get it. Is someone showing you how to do it? If not, get some one with patience to show you.
It was frustrating
I was 11
Can't remember how long it took but 38 years later I am glad I learned.
I'm looking for a new dirtbike to ride but don't want to brake the bank. I saw this ad on the internet but I have no clue what it means. Heres the link: http://connecticut.backpage.com/MotorcyclesForSale/_300_dirt_bike_rm250_86_basket_case_nds_crank_gd_shape_/classifieds/ViewAd?oid=1624997
It's a 1986 RM250.A basket case is a bike that needs to be put back together.It says it's in good shape but it needs a new crankshaft.In other words the engine needs to be re built.They want 300 dollars or best offer.Unless you know how to re build engines and assemble bikes it wouldn't be a good choice for you.
LOL i loved the it has a basket case answers Too funny!
Hello, I'm looking for a good Honda Dirt Bike, around the year 95 - present if any. The max I am willing to pay is 1000. Is there any websites that sell used dirt bikes, besides Ebay?
Cycletrader.com You should be able to pick up a '95 or so 125 MX for that price or if you're looking for a trail bike you can also find a XR200/250 in that range. Good luck shopping.
My son and I have just started getting into dirt bikes. We are getting him a Honda CRF50F. I am looking for a bike for myself. I don't want a bike that's to small for me but I don't want a bike that is to big that I end up killing myself. Any input will help. Thanks!
Nice honda is the best choice by far just because they last longer and keep their value. Now i would say if your over 200 Ibs. go with a crf250 (nice) if you are under 200Ibs. crf150, the 4 strokes will be better for you since alot of beginers can't get used to the powerband to fast.
I was also looking for aftermarket parts.
Probably cant fit plastics from the 2007 model on it, but you may be able to find newer plastics that are not an exact fit but will go on with a bit of a tug. what you can do, is buy a new decal kit and trim the decals to fit the old plastics, if the old plastics are still around.. this can be solved be dealership really easily if you call them and give them the serial number on the frame and maybe the engine as they will have a list of all the fitting plastic parts. good luck hunting them down. go to www.chaparral-racing.com for aftermarket parts. they have almost anything.
Never riden a bike before but want to learn,would it be smart to learn how to ride a dirt bike first then later on a sports bike?
When I did my riders course and test, the instructors there said that if they had their way all riders would have to learn their skills 1st on a dirt bike, then a road motorcycle, then the car/truck/bus.
This is because you learn how to get out of tricky situations like dirt/debris spills on the road how to avoid oncoming objects (i.e. trees and wildlife) The road bike will enhance those learnt by the dirt bike plus give you new ones like riding with cars, truck and other objects. These then pass on to the skill of manoeuvring a car, the truck or bus.
Form what I've seen so far I think that, that would be a pretty good idea.
(I'm doing it backwards of course, learnt to drive a car, then a truck, now road motorcycle, so I am looking for the dirt to improve my road riding skills.)

I really want to ride but i don't know if i can or if i want to go through the pain of asking a dealer ! and keep in mind i am only doing some minor trail riding no jumps or motocross !
if you know of any bikes tell me !

Look at a used Kawasaki KDX200. These are great for woods and trail. I am 260lbs and can stand mine up in a wheelie and jump just fine. Just don't do those things until your skills improve. You do not need a large cc bike. KDX's are very forgiving to a new rider as well. This is a 2 stroke. If you are looking at a 4 stroke, I would not suggest anything larger than 400cc. You can go a little larger on a 4 stroke than a 2stroke and be ok. Some of the 250cc size 4 strokes are smaller in size. The 250cc 2 strokes have alot of power, but would also be ok for your size. You would need to sit on them to see how they feel.
Definitely buy a used one for your first. This way when you lay it down, it won't get you as upset.

I am 13 about 5 foot 6 and was wandering if anyone could recomend a bike.this bike would have to be quite cheap also i would only ride it for fun not take part in competions and it would have to be capable of some jumps.
THANKS

There are a ton of people who just take the little 50cc dirtbikes and add tons of after market stuff to make them what they want. I know my hubby ( who rides a 450cc dirtbike) really wants a 50cc to play around and jump on. They are pretty cheap too. If you want something a little bit bigger I would probably go with a 125. I'm 5'2" and ride a honda crf 150.
By the way 50cc bikes are pit bikes.
Were else can u ride a motor scooter or dirt bike besides around your block or street ?
You have motorcross tracks, parks, unused land, and also trails, basically, find some woods, and ride where someone would walk.
I was looking around for a bike (200s) to ride on trails preferably a two stroke. Ive got an older model and i wanted to upgrade any good bikes around that arent too hard on the wallet? Im about 5'7, 60kg(130lbs). Thanks in advance
A relatively inexpensive solid trail bike would be a Kawasaki KDX 200 or 220. they are one of the less expensive dirt bikes new and can usually find good deals on clean used ones around the $1000-1500 range.
they are set up for enduro, torquey yet with decent suspension & brakes. I have personally owned about 10 since 1980 and never had any serious problems. Parts are readily available, easy to work on, very reliable and long lasting.
likewise, at your height, it might be a little bit tall for you initially, but you can add lowering links to the rear suspension and slide the fork tubes up in the triple clamps to drop the seat height up to about 2.25 inches without loosing much, if any, suspension travel.
my son raced the area enduro circuit for about 5 years placing in the majority of the events on both a 200 & later on a 220.
