[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1189830, member: 68872"] If you are used to riding a 150 four stroke then a 250 four stroke would be a big step up for you! It is, however, the minimum engine size that I would recommend for a full size adult male. Note that weight is more important than height as far as engine size goes. Seat height is what matters for your height. Keep in mind that for a given engine size, a two stroke will have almost twice the power as a four stroke. A lot is going to depend on what it is you really want. Some people love the thrill that the acceleration of a high powered bike can give you. Others enjoy the challenge of riding a smaller engine bike. Still others are quite content with a more tame ride and don't wish to go at break neck speeds. If you are thinking of riding tracks then I would predict that you would want a more powerful bike. I would recommend a 250 two stroke over the 250 four stroke. You would also want a "MX" bike instead of an "off road" bike. For just bombing around the farm field just about anything would be fine. If noise is an issue the four strokes are far less annoying. At 5'8" you might prefer a slightly lower seat height than what the typical MX bike would offer. Something like a Yamaha TTR-225 would be a nice "off road" bike for a shorter person. It won't have the suspension of a MX bike but it will do fine around the farm and they cost a lot less than a MX bike. Rod [/QUOTE]
