There is a bike called a Kawasaki KDX220 or 200. These bikes are good for begginers and trail riders. If you dont like those then a 250 MXer 2 stroke with a flywheel weight and large tank and you are set.

i agree with your suggestions. im not sure how many pounds 65/70 kg is or how many USD's 2000 euros is, but i know that a KDX200 is cheaper than a 250 2T here in the US, and its probably the same there. if you get a 250 2T, a KX250 has been renowned for being an excellent HS bike and its easier to ride than most, but that doesnt mean its not as fast ;) . either a KX250 or KDX200/220( the 220 version is barely different, but its supposed to have slightly more low-end, and thats about it). the KDX220's are also more rare than KDX200's, so it might be harder to find a used one.

I suggest getting a 250 cc 2 stroke MX bike. An MX bike can be easily riden in the trails, but a trail bike is not terribly competent on an MX track.

A 2 year old 2 stroke MX bike can be found for about 1/3 the cost of a new MX bike. Just pick your favorite color, buy the newest bike possible within your budget.

Good luck, Steve.
