hello everyone im 19 yrs old and i have around $2k with me and i'm thinking of purchasing a dirt bike.  I'm totally new to the biking scene, none of my friends do it, i was just in cali one day and saw a couple of offroad bikers cruising around and immediately i was hooked. the prob is that i dont know much so it'll be great if you guys can answer my questions.

1. Whats the difference with a Motocross and a off-road bike?

2. Whats the average lifespan of a dirt bike?

3. What do you recommend for a starter bike?

4. I'm looking for a bike that i can offroad with, yet go on the road casually too. Should i get a dual purpose bike (i.e. KLR650?)

5. I live in Vegas and sometimes i might wanna head down to Cali (prolly 300mile distance)..is it ok for me to ride the dirtbike down to Cali? Or is it too much distance for the dirtbike to cover?

6. Whats the difference between a 4 and a 2 stroke?

I'm 5'9, 150 lbs btw.vegas is all SAND and DIRT so thats the type of terrain ill be riding in. these are some general, yet critical questions i have. thx guys for ur time.
