[QUOTE="IridiumRed, post: 898575, member: 56045"] one point i'd emphasize, based on what i've seen so far - [B]I dont care what size a person is, a 500 dirtbike is possibly the worst / most dangerous bike I could imagine for a beginning rider[/B] I'm pretty new to dirtbikes, but i've had 10 years of experience with HIGH horsepower sportbikes. Thats the ONLY way i have the throttle control to handle it.... otherwise i'd be dead... but with the flywheel weight in it, and a steel plate clutch, its surprising just how tractable the power is. VERY responsive. Sure, anything past about 1/4 throttle in the first 3 gears gets you going fast, but its amazing how many throttle positions you can achieve in that 1/4.... which is key [/QUOTE]
