Hope this is the right forum. I am looking to buy a new bike, and am twisted on what to buy. I am 17, 5'11, and 170, very good strength-wise and physical condition. I am wanting to know what would be the best bike, not just for now but for the near future. I would like to get into racing sometime in the future also. I am not afraid of speed, yet people i talk to always propose a slow bike. Help!!! Please.

If your going to race MX your right at that borderline spot between a 125/250F or a 250/450F. I was your height and 15 pounds lighter when I got my first 250 back in 1980 but bikes are power powerful now days. At 170 pounds you'll be at a disadvantage on starts with the small bike but you will be able to handle it well. If you haven't riding at all the big bike is probably to much for you.

If you can ride a couple of friends bikes before you commit that would go a long way towards helping you out.
