Okay boys. Looks like any brand of 250f will work for you. Even KTM (don't forget about Kick Tail Motorcycles) Older brother (Im gonna call you Steve); Steve you might want to consider a 250 two stroke or 450. Only rule I have for you is DO NOT GET A 125. Im especially talking to you little brother (Im gonna call you Ike) Another tip for you guys, Ebay has good deals. Good luck Steve and Ike. :cool:

for the older brother i would recommend a 250f or some sort of trail bike like a klx400. trail bikes still have plenty of power but not as agressive as full out motocross bikes like the 450.

for the little bro or Ike :laugh: a 125 or 250f would be perfect.
