im 16 years old i weight 140 pounds. will i be able to control a 250?
it will be my first bike i had a lil go of 1 and i pulled off ok what do you people think ?
i don't know, this is a bit difficult. i don't want to tell you to get a 125 first because chances are you'll get bored of it (i did). however, just because you can get going on one doesn't mean you can handle it in any situation. you are big enough to ride one, but i would still suggest getting a 125 first. ride a 125, once you get more skilled, you can sell it for the big 2-5-0.
I have a KX250, these bikes have tons of power. However, unless your local tracks have long straights and high speed corners, you never really get to use all of the gearbox and power. 125's are ace machines, throttle to the stop action, and a chassis to almost the same spec as a 250.
What ever you decide have great fun and meet tons of new friends.....Mark.
