[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1177038, member: 68872"] Your budget and preferences make this a hard one. First off, make sure that you understand that the bike manufacturers have two lines of dirt bikes: "Off road" and "MX". The MX bikes are built for racing, and have high performance engines and better suspension. The off road bikes are more tame and cost a lot less. You contradict yourself a bit when you say that you are not agressive but that you want to get some air. If you have a serious desire to hit jumps then I would recommend a bike that has a suspension that will absorb the landing, especially when you mess up and case one. If you buy a two stroke then a 125 would be fine, but if you go four stroke I would recommend at least a 230. You will not be happy on a 125 four stroke. If you could increase your budget a bit I would recommend something like a Yamaha YZ-250F or a Yamaha WR250F. Even though the WR250F is listed under the "off road" section for Yamaha they are pretty darn close to the YZ as far as suspension and engine performance. To stay in your budget you will either need to be in a newer off road model (Yamaha TT series) or go 10 years old and buy a YZ two stroke. Rod [/QUOTE]
