[QUOTE="ultrachrome, post: 155161, member: 16592"] Euro's buy lots of Jap bikes. I would guess this would be because any single Japanese manufacturer probably churns out far more bikes than KTM, Gas Gas, TM, and Husqvarna combined. My definition of a beginner bike would be low seat height, low power motor, low tech suspension and brakes etc. KTM's, GG's, TM's (no experience with Huskys) all come out of the crate with top of the line equipment, high horsepower motors, race ready suspension, etc. Certainly a beginner could learn on a euro bike, they just better not be too short or too out of shape. If your decision on 2 versus 4 stroke is strictly for DOT approval, where will you be spending most of your time, road or trail? DOT tires and street friendly gearing don't lend well to tight woods riding. Another thing to consider, as a beginner you will undoubtedly crash and there is a considerable probability a crash could mean you can't get back home. (ie punctured radiator, broken chain, flat tire, busted clutch master cylinder, broken headlight, broken shift lever, etc). A minor collision could result in any of these problems. Just some possible realities to consider. [/QUOTE]
