Say hello to my new dirt bike, a 1984 Honda XR200R:

I know very little about the mechanics of dirtbikes, or any motor vehicle for that matter. But one thing i've noticed with my bike is that it uses oil very quickly, for intance, I filled it up 3/4's of the way up and went sand riding for about 2 hours off and on. When I got home I checked the oil again and it was practically gone. My bike feels like it runs smooth, and it only smokes a bit when I'm revving it quite high. Should a bike my size be using this much oil? finally, i checked my oil again this morning and the dipstick was completly dry so i have no idea what's going on there. There is no puddle of oil under my dirtbike so you can rule out that it is leaking.
