Need a little advice… seems everyone i talk to tells a diffrent story. i'm looking for a dirt bike. i will be using it to play arround in forestry, dunes, trails etc. i'm not looking to race, but it'd be nice to gas it and hit a jump. i'm only looking to spend about $1500.00 as this is my first bike and i'd hate to lay down a $5k machine. i'm looking at the 250's. i am undecided as to 2 vs 4 stroke and model. it seems hard to find a 4 stroke in my price range. i dont mind maintenence but i don't want to have to deal with adjustments while i'm on the trail. i just want a good bike i can play with… one that wont make me wish i had bought a diffrent or better one right away. weight range of the rider will be 160 lbs. the hardest part of selecting is that i have only ridden about 1 hour on a bike so i cannot got out test driving bikes as i wouldnt know what to look for.any non bias input would be great!
Honestly you will have to look around and ask individuals or sales people. i had in the past a 2 stroke honda cr125, i loved it, now i have a 4 stroke suzuki dr250. basically a street legal dirt bike, it doesnt seem to have as much power as my 125 did but it does have equal power throughout the rpm range where as my 125 only had great power in high rpms during the powerband, all and all if it is trail riding and a little motocross and you want something cheap and easy to work on i would go with a 2 stroke, top end rebuilds are very easy to do, and there are plenty of shops around the country that work on 2 and 4 stroke motors. good luck!!
