Hey guys, I'm new to riding. When i was around the age of 8y/o my parents bought me a PW80 Automatic LOL! And i haven't rid since. And now that i want to ride a sport bike everyone i know that rides is suggesting me to ride dirt for right now. So I really have no idea where to start, on getting a bike. I'm 17 now. So any advice would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: On a side note i want to do motorcycle repair when i get older .. All types of bikes so if anyone knows where i can start learning! Thanks

welcome to the site ryan!
to help us help you, are you going to be riding motocross or trails?

Ryaan · 11-16-2007, 05:54 PM

My uncle is a really big rider, been riding for years, and hes getting me into riding. But well be riding trails for now. I hope as i get better i can make the transition over to racing i love watching races, Track and Dirt. But lol to answer the question starting out i will be riding trails.

wr250f95 · 11-16-2007, 06:03 PM

well may I suggest either the wr250f or crf250x, they are mx bikes modified into trail bikes, but once you get to riding mx you can set them up for mx.

turtlemann14 · 11-16-2007, 06:07 PM

gncc or some thing like that for trail racing or just race your buddies
what is your budget¿

what is your weight and leg length¿ about how much can you lift¿

Ryaan · 11-16-2007, 06:16 PM

Ive actually been quite inactive for 2years, so quite a bit out of shape. Im 5'9, 240 , and i dont know what i can lift.

Ryaan · 11-16-2007, 06:34 PM

OH and i will be paying monthly for a new bike, since at minimum wage itll take forever to save up for a used. so as long as its not a huge monthly fee.

turtlemann14 · 11-16-2007, 06:35 PM

what is the biggest you have ridden so far just the pw80¿
do you have a brand that you would like to stick to
and do you prefer 2 or 4 strokes? if you are riding on hilly trails i would get a 4stroke

btw hello how are you

Ryaan · 11-16-2007, 06:38 PM

Lol the pw80 is the biggest thing ive rode consistently, Ive rode a 200 and im going to ride it next week a little that my uncle owns. Ive looked around, and i like ktm.. keep in mind i have no idea what makes a good bike. And i also don't know anything about 4stroke or 2stroke to make that decision. But yeah i like KTM and yamaha.

Just looking at ktms makes me like them alot lol

wr250f95 · 11-16-2007, 06:48 PM

KTM builds a good bike, have you considered a kdx200/220?
