if i turn my 230 over on me will i be able to pick it up, the thing weighs 240wet, im not sure how bad this will tear me up?

how strong are you?

turtlemann14 · 11-15-2007, 02:17 PM

depends on how you fall to...
look to be lifting around 80lbs maybe a hair more
go to the dealer and ask if they will lay it over for you so you can pick it to see what it is like
just keep in mind you do not have to pick the entire thing up in most cases

like i was saying, get the crf250r. dry weight is only like 205lbs.

i would, but im gonna buy one brand new and i dont have enough money for a 250 (im gonna be making payments)

dont waste your money on buying a crf230f, i swear you will get tired real quick. its better to have a bike with a little extra power you can grow into. i would check out ebay. i know you said you wanted to make payents but ebay will give you great deals and sometimes even offer payments.

see thats just ridiculous. the crf250r rolls with about 37bhp. 18bhp is just like a big go-kart.

I rode and still ride 3 of these big go karts(ttr90,ttr125,xr250) and for the ease of use you cant beat them.
