Message: [QUOTE="jb_dallas, post: 1370081, member: 103004"] A 125 2 stroke motocross bike is a very poor trail bike. I know because I owned one and sold it for that exact reason. They are designed for the track and they dont have much low end power, which makes trail riding difficult. I would suggest a 4 stroke, although you will be limited with your $1500 budget. I recently bought a 2001 XR400 honda for $1800, but it was almost new. You can probably find one for around $1500 if you look on Craigslist. There are only a few modern 2 strokes that are actually designed for the trail, such as the KDX 200 or 220. Regardless of which bike you decide to buy, learn what to look when looking at a bike or take someone who does. You can really get screwed if you dont know what you are doing. By the way, a 250 2 stroke is not a beginners bike...I have owned one of those too. [/QUOTE]
