[QUOTE="elcamino12sec, post: 1231340, member: 66362"] I personally think a 250 would be fine. I weigh 225 and 6'4" and ride a 250 2 stroke. Lets remember that a cr500 or a xr600 will not have stiff enough suspension for 240lbs either. A 250 2 stroke will walk all over a xr400 so I would not even think about purchasing one. I think you are on the right track with your 250 2 stroke, one thing you will need to do with any bike you get is to purchase the correct springs for you weight. I dont think it would cost any more than 250.00 for the proper front and rear springs for most bikes. An xr600 may be a good choice but for your price range I dont think you will be able to find one in decent shape for under 3k. I would not recomend a cr500 for a beginner off road rider becase of the power, they are more designed for baja and very open terrain, not so good to learn on for tight trails, I think it would be too much work. Because of the 2t 4t market you should be able to find a good used 250 2t for under 2k. And it will have plenty of power to scoot you well. [/QUOTE]
