Well, the DRZ's and CRF150F will bottom off jumps and can't really climb a lot of hills as they're pretty under powered. Honestly I think you would be better off with a two-stroke like the KX100 or maybe a 125 motocross bike. Also, a KDX200 would fit you well but it isn't the greatest motocross bike.

well it doesn't need to be a race bike, i just wanna be able to hit jumsp and climb hills, is there any four-stroke that can do that?

 

[SpeedyManiac]

Why are you dead set against a two-stroke? There is fourstrokes that can jump and hill climb, but they're more performance oriented and require A LOT of maintenance or they will grenade on you. Personally I don't think you can go wrong with a KX100 or KDX200.

well, im gunna ask my dad about 2-stroke, i think noise is an issue, but when im near houses ill just ride in low gear.

so ill try to talk him into it :blah:
i accually want a 2-stroke more than 4 so i hope he considers...

get

get the 2 stroke belive me my dad the same excact thing it was the BIGGEST mistake of my life i bought a brand new four stroke for 2 and a half grand and there so mild i sold it a year later and am now in search of a 125 or 250 2 stroke.

 

[Darkkoresh88]

well, i'm looking at spending $3000 or less, could i get maybe a 2002-2003 kx for that?
i think im looking towards a kx becuase i wanna hit some jumps :ride:
climbing hills is a MUST becuase its pretty hilly where im gunna be living
