Message: [QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1405829, member: 77507"] Chili is right. Avoiding the 250cc+ 2 strokes for a while is a great idea. A KTM200 will be a bit much for a beginner should you get a bit-o-whiskeythrottle like in the vid. It's all about throttle control and when you've bashing through the woods or around the track all day it gets MUCH more difficult to hold onto a morw powerful bike. Once you start to slide back and the bike starts to pull away from you the throttle keeps pulling and bye-bye! Look for a good deal on a KDX, KTM200 or even a 125 2 stroke. The 125s are dirt cheap and have a much smoother learning curve. Plus you'll learn better clutch control. [/QUOTE]
