new to dirt bikes, TT-R250 a beginners bike?

[hale]

Hello pplz! I'm new to the dirt bike world. My dad just recently bought me a Yamaha TT-R250 06 from one of his friends for only $2,500 and he decided just to give it to me. I've never intended to ride dirt bikes, but I won't let the bike just sit there. I'm 5'8'' and 180 lbs. The bike seems pretty big compared to my friends lol. My friends told me that the bike I'm getting is a good beginners choice, but I don't know if I believe them. So is the TT-R250 really a good bike for beginners? Alright thanks.

Yes, it is a good beginner/play bike. It will require minimal maintenance and has a broad smooth powerband, and not an overwhelming amount of power. Have fun with it, always wear your helmet, and don't abuse it too much.
