hey guys it's my first post on here just signed up and wanting to know what bike to choose.

1) your physical size (both height and weight are important)
5'8 120lbs, play foot ball
2) How physical / aggressive are you ?
very aggressive and don't really care if i fall if my quad/bikes ok or i didn't break anything
3) what do you plan to ride- MX/SX tracks, woods, fields with friends or ?????
might want to race a little in the future i don't think my dad wants me to.So i do mostly everything like rocks, hill climbs,long straight aways (i need some speed) pretty wet in some places and always need good suspension
4) Do you have any riding experience?
6 years on a quad , 2 on a dirtbike
5) Do you think you will race ?
maybe but maybe not
6) Are you mechanically inclined and will you be doing your own bike work?
most normal stuff like rejet a carb or change oil, break pads you know , easy stuff :)
7) Do YOU have a preference to a brand/ motor choice (2 or 4 stroke)?
4 stroke umm not a chinese brand.
8) Do you have a dealer close by your home that you might use and what brand(s) does he carry?
yes i actually have a 16 mile trail in my backyard to a Honda Yamaha dealer
9) How much ($) do you plan to spend on a bike?as little as possible
10) Do you live in California?
nope new jersey
11) Your age?
12
12) anything else that you think would help form an opinion
umm my dad doesent want me to get a 250 because he thinks it will be to big for me. my mom wants me to buy something new(what a rip off) i am leaning towards that crf 230 but i want a 250. i have liked Honda and i want to stick with honda.

Why not an XR250? They are only but 2-3 h.p. extra than the 230. Plus you will more than likely find a better deal on a used xr250 than the newer crfs. Either way you can't go wrong with any 4T honda enduro.
