[QUOTE="KX250Dad, post: 1129276, member: 74039"] Couple of simple questions will give you your answer: 1. Are you paying for the bike (highly recommend, your dad can thank me later) 2. You are buying a used bike (recommended for a newcomer) 3. You will be doing the bike reapirs/maintenance (a must for this sport and your eventual goal e.g., mx racing) 4. Your secure enough with yourself you don't need to be "cool" 5. You want to be part of the best sport ever If you answered yes to all the above then my opinion would favor a 125 2stk. Used 125's right now... get great buys on a late model bike. Don't even consider a used 250F (read the other DRN fourms) The 125 technology is simple and you will be trouble shooting and top ending in no time. Many buy the 250F's to be cool or I'm better than you thing... don't get caught up in that true competitors/friends and riders respect each other (at least off the track). The 250F would be the easier to learn (safer), however the initial and post cost will be 3-5x higher. Your size and weight is ideally suited both bikes. In so far as the under powered thing... that's a non-issue in mx, it's your skill that will win races if your in the right class. My son and I have had both 2 & 4 strokes and this is about as honest as you get. [/QUOTE]
