[QUOTE="e32lover, post: 1190363, member: 77481"] Hi, Im new to the dirt bike scene, and have only had limited riding experience, but my mates all ride on a regular basis, and i have decided to join in on the fun. I have been struggling with what bike to get. I will be using it primarily for trail riding, but want something that i wont out skill anytime soon, hence my decision to get a WR style bike. My only concern with the WR though is that they are maintanance intensive, and i will probably only be riding it about once a month (hopefully more) so i want a bike that will work when i want it to. I have also been considering the Yamaha TTR 250, as i have heard that they are better begginers bikes, and also that they are more reliable and less maintanance intensive. There is no point mentioning my budget cos i am in Australia and prices arent really comparable, but lets just say i have enough money for a 2001-2002 model WR250, so any advice on other bikes that would suit my needs for this price range would be great. I have 2 broken cars, and am a full time uni student so i definately dont have time to stuff around fixing the bike, i want something that will most importantly be reliable, but also light, and road legal (the above mentioned bikes are road legal here as well as pretty much any 4 stroke 250cc dirtbike) Due to my need for reliability and low maintanance i have also been considering the Honda XR250 over the yamaha, also because i could afford to get a slightly newer one then the yamaha. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as i am stuck. My mates just tell me to get a YZ, but i know that is not a good idea for a begginer rider. )size? about 6 foot 6, 80kg 2) How physical / aggressive are you ? Strong but not very aggresive 3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ????? Trails, a bit of bush bashing, but want to be able to keep up with my crazy mates on their YZ's 4) Do you have any riding experience? Not really, I have ridden a motorbike maybe 20 times in my life 5) Do you think you will race ? No never 6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work? I can but i really dont want to 7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)? 4 Stroke, no brand preference Thanks. [/QUOTE]
