Well I've been thinking about getting a dirt bike and I'm a big guy and don't know what size would be good for me I havn't weighed myself in ever but I would have to say I'm between 250 and 300 probably closer to 300 but not sure any one know what size bike I should get like as in engine or anything idk any one have any suggestions?
Speaking as a big guy, if you're in it for trail riding DRZ400, WR450F, or CRF450X. The last 2 are more for a racing style but a 400 4 stroke would be good, motocross ..beginner 250 2-stroke (YZ250 or CR250) mainly because they are easier to work on than a 4-stroke. I personally would not recommend a 125 2-stroke or a 250 4-stroke because of your size… lets just say the zero to 60 quotient is a high number. But the first thing I would do, new springs front and back (100 dollars an end) would be a must (like I said, speaking as a big guy, I didnt do that and I ended up w/ a decent wreck) and maybe a taller seat, lower pegs and a highbend handlebar. If you get the 2-stroke and you are a beginner, I'd either get a bigger flywheel or get a bike w/ not much of a power hit. You could get an exhaust pipe that controls that (FMF Gnarly w/ Turbine Core 2 of Q2 silencer). 4-Strokes dont have that much of a hit but are really torquey, the trade off is that they are hard to work on but now are much easier to find aftermarket parts for because thats the way the industry is going. With any bike you get, buy a Clymer service manual, trust me, its a must. Hope this helps
