Hey guys, I finally sold my car and have got some money for a dirt bike. I've been leaning toward a two stroke 125 because they are the right size and they are cheap when bought used. I'd like to get a four stroke seeing as I've never ridden a two stroke before but I'll settle for what I can afford. I really can't find a 250 four stroke in my price range and don't want to wait months to find one.
So, which 125 two stroke would be best for me since I'm mainly a trail rider (probably 90% trail; 10% track.) Or would they be pretty much the same? Also, since I've never ridden a two stroke before, will a 125 be a handful on the trails? Should I wait for a cheap four stroke like the XR's to crop up?
I know that KDX's are trail specific two strokes but they are also pretty expensive even used. All I really can afford to get now is a motocross 2 stroke. Thanks in advance.
1) your physical size: I'm 5'8" and 150 lbs.
2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Medium agressiveness
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? woods, trails, fields, and occasionally the track
4) Do you have any riding experience? I've been on four strokes, never on a two stroke before
5) Do you think you will race ? No
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? Yeah I can do my own work
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? I've been looking at two strokes for their price used.
8) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike? Up to $1400
9) Your age? 16
