I have never owned a dirtbike before in my life. I am 26 years old, about 6'1" and usually around 200 to 205 pounds. I have owned street bikes (cruisers) before. I was an excellent rider but felt like I was going to get killed by the idiot drivers around here in Oklahoma. I really want another motorcycle and figured I'd be a lot less likely to get killed on a dirtbike. I'm a pretty cautious rider. I race mountain bikes quite often. I was interested in a two stroke bike. One of my buddies at work says I should stick with two strokes and a 250 would probably be best for my height and weight. I can fix anything that would break on a dirtbike, but I would still prefer a bike that requires the least maintenance. Since I'm starting out, I figured I'd get a used bike too. I was looking at Honda CR250's. There's a few for sale around here for around $1500 to $2000. Some are 93's and 94's. Is there any year I should avoid? I don't plan on racing dirtbikes or doing any rediculous jumps. But there's good trails around here that I'd like to ride. Thanks for any advice! Matt
