[QUOTE="smarley, post: 1231360, member: 80739"] Hi all, I am new to the world of dirt bikes but not new to street riding. A friend sold me a 1994 YZ-250 and I've been told by many that it is way too much bike for me. While this may be so, if I take it easy and learn slowly, can I assume that I can grow into the bike? I paid less than $1k and it is in really good shape. It just seemed like a shame to shell out 2x that to try the dirt. My plan is to ride fire trails for some time and just get the feel of the bike. I will then slowly transition to some dirt. I don't typically have a heavy had on the throttle so I feel like I can use this bike without too much risk. I also have a manual on order to understand the mechanics and do complete maintenance before using the bike. I'm just looking for some opinions as to whether I talking any sense here or dif I screwed up with this purchase? Thanks for any insight, Marley [/QUOTE]
