Help Looking at getting a bike

[Door8706]

Looking at getting a bike, not sure which would be a good beginner bike. I've rode bikes all my life on and off. This would be my first bike to own. I would be doing mainly trail riding. I'm 5'10" 195lbs.

All advice will be welcomed

the main choice is between 4 strokes and 2 strokes. I like the ease of maintenance, less weight, funner powerband of 2 strokes but 4 strokes have a longer less hard hitting powerband that beginners like. Just go check out some bikes and always take a test ride and eventually one will hit you as what fits you the best.
