help! what dirt bike should i get.?

Question

i am 5ft 11in tall 180lbs or about 90kgs and 14 years old and im really confused on this. i ride dirt bikes and im learning on a 125cc 4 stroke thumpstar but its way too small for me and im not sure if i should get a crf250 or a crf150 please someone help am i ready for a 250 yet

Answer 1

Don't get another one of those crap chinese crf50 knock offs. I'm 6'1" 190lbs and I fit perfectly on an xr100 or a ttr125 that are just as good for a lot cheaper. They're great for four strokes, if u want a two stroke get a rm80 or a yz85. No offense bro but u can't handle a 150 or 250 trust me. That Chinese 125 is equal to like a Japanese 70 or 80 at best. Good luck, keep riding, -Cyrus

Answer 2

Ready?

Never seen you ride but if a 125 4-stroke is too small than a 250 F MIGHT be the next step up.

But there are 225-230cc bikes out there.

Now back to the Ready?

Is it the power or the physical size of the machine that you feel is too small? Most 250 Fs are taller and have a lot more power. So, are you ready?

Believe you are, a 225 or 230 is not that much larger in height, only ccs, so a rather small step-up.

Go throw a leg over a few 250-Fs, they're fun to ride, have nice mellow power so it's not that radical of a jump-up as long as you feel comfortable. .

Answer 3

You've stated that you're still learning on a 125cc 4 stroke. IF so, then why do you want to move to a 250cc straight away? Finish learning on the 125cc first, get a decent amount of use out of it. You want good throttle and clutch control before you move up, and a good understanding of maintenance. Why a 4 stroke anyhow? Why not move up to a 125cc 2 stroke? It'll have near enough 2x the power of your current bike.
