dirt bikedirtbikepartssale
Im looking to buy my first dirt bike. i dont want something small like a peewee… something i can grow into as i wont be buying one each year once my riding skills improve. wanting to buy one from ebay but have no idea what to look for when it comes to cc and strokes… im lost!
i am 23 and weigh approx 70kg about 165cm.
I just need an idea about what to look for in a new/used bike and the approx price i would expect to pay as i dont want to be ripped off! haha im looking to spend up to $1000.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Thank you

A 125 2-stroke is what you want! I wouldn't consider anything else, unless you get a good deal on a 250. You can pick one up for about 1k, they're easy to learn on, light, and you wont outgrow it. I recommend looking for a bike that is local (preferably a honda cr125).

Look for a bike that has not been raced, things like numbers and tons of performance parts are signs of bikes that may have been ridden hard. Take someone who knows a lot about bikes when you look for a bike.

A 2-stroke means that for every 2 stokes of the piston there is one power stroke, also they are much lighter and simpler than 4-strokes. A 4-stroke means that for every 4 strokes of the piston there is one power stroke. This is why the 125 2-strokes are in the same class as the 250 4-strokes. Also, 2-strokes have to have their gas premixed with oil, which is very simple.

You should be able to find a clean bike for 1,000 but it may take some time. Look for something with a clean frame, excess scuffs and scrapes are signs of a bike that has been ridden real hard.

lemme know if you need any more advise.
