Im sure the 250cc would be enough. Id like a big bike with the 250cc in it. Do they make them like full sized? Like one of those bikes most people cant even get on?helio lucas said:a honda xr250 or similar does suit your needs. they are very reliable, easy, capable bikes. if you want buy used there are loads of them, they are popular bikes.
if you are woried about your size maybe the best option is the xr400...
Iv got a Suzuki Eiger quad. Its called a 400, but its like a 362cc. I would say thats more then enough power for a bike. Maybe I should just get the 400cc and be done with it then. I'm sure ill start to wish I had got a bigger bike if I get the 250cc.GoldDrum said:I had a 2001 XR400 for a couple of years, great bike. I would recommend that bike for your size. The 250 may not have the power that you need. The 400 is what I started on, easy to ride and plenty of power.
Well it depends man, I know for sure the carb needs to be pulled off and cleaned. Iv already done the gas tank. The rims look real bad though, I dont know if their even usable. I mean its like their starting to peel and push outward, the tires seem good though. The only other thing is I wasn't getting spark, at least that I could see.YZ__rider said:Whether it is a "good bike" depends on the repairs required. If it was free and needs minimal repair, I say ride it until you get bored with it or something breaks. If you are going to sink some money into the bike getting in operating condition, I would not bother. Those bikes arent worth much when they are running flawlessly. They (the 80s XR, XL series) were very heavy and the suspension is not even comparable to modern day suspension. They also had a goofy 2 carburetor setup that is hell to tune properly. We owned an '84 XR500 for many years. I thought it was great back then, but by todays standards it was a pig.
