Message: [QUOTE="YZ__rider, post: 1392415, member: 118935"] For an experienced rider, a 250 2 stroke can be a blast in the woods. For a beginner, the same bike can be very dangerous and frustrating...that snappy power can get you in trouble if you cant control it. You are 225 pounds right? I would recommend trying an XR400. I own a 2001 XR400 and they are good beginner bikes...plenty of controllable power and low maintenance. My friends are all beginners and they have a blast on the XR. It isnt the lightest bike made, but it has many other postive points that make up for the weight. [/QUOTE]
