Ok... I'm 14, about to turn 15, and I'm looking to buy another dirt bike. When I was younger, I had a TTR90 and I outgrew it. About 4 months ago, my family bought a four wheeler(350 raptor). I rather have a dirt bike so I'm wondering what I should get. I'm not new to dirt bikes, I just haven't rode one in forever. And I'd appreciate it if you suggested something according to my information, not what you like. Thanks! :)

1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
A) I'm about 6' and 130 pounds
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
A) I am really competitive, I might be looking into learning about Motocross.
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
A) I plan on riding motocross tracks, maybe with friends...
4) Do you have any riding experience?
A) I rode for a couple years when I was 8 or 9 on a TTR90.
5) Do you think you will race ?
A) Once I learn more about it, yes.
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
A) I'm looking into being a mechanic, I'm still pretty new to bikes, but I'm also only 14. The only way to learn is by doing, so yes, I will be doing my own bike work.
7) Do YOU have a preferance to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
A) I think I'm more towards a 4 stroke. I still don't know all the pros and cons of a 2 or 4 stroke.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
A) I have a "Skyline" near my house. They have Yamaha and Honda.
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?
A) Probably no more than $6,000, give or take a little.
10) Do you live in California?
A) haha I live in Missouri
11) Your age?
A) 14, turning 15 in about a month.
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion.
A) I was looking at a yz125f, not sure if it has too much power though.

A 125 two stroke or a 250 four stroke would be great for you. You definitely should get a "MX" bike verses an "off road/trai;" bike. For example, the TTR90 you had was an "off road" model. The MX bikes, such as the Yamaha YZ line, have much a better suspension which you will need if you start riding MX tracks.
