[QUOTE="mtngoat, post: 83135, member: 18818"] I'd recommend a used Honda XR100; maybe an XR200. Here's why: --You're probably too tall for any of the automatic clutch bikes. --You should be able to put both feet down flatfooted while on the bike, which I think helps build confidence for new riders. --Fourstrokes have more "manageable" power delivery for new riders. --Should you move on to another bike, these have good resale value. --Either bike can be made street legal with a baja kit, if that's important. --Both bikes are very reliable. Find someone to teach you how to stop, before you learn to ride. I forced my boys to spend hours starting (learning the clutch) and stopping (learning both brakes), before I took them "riding". Don't ride without gear. Everyone on the forum pretty much agrees to dress for the crash. Don't get sucked in by the youthful trend towards "minimalist gear". Wear it all: helmet, chest protector, kidney belt (not just for kidneys, also lower back protection), knee pads, boots, elbow guards, gloves, padded shorts. Welcome to the sport! [/QUOTE]
