What first bike should I get?

[alexcc]

Hi im about 6 foot 2, 80kgs. Ive been going to the tracks with a friend of mine for a couple of weeks now and decided that I really wanto get into mx racing. I will be occasionally racing but use my bike more for fun on the tracks.

I am not sure what bike to get, I have been looking at the YZ250, CR250, RM250 and the KX250. I will be getting the bike second hand, about 2002 or 2003 model.

Any advice and opinions would be much appreciated.

All of them are good bikes so just pick a color and ride the wheels off of it.

yamaha yz250

I have been looking at a couple of reviews and I think the yz250 is probably the best (from what I heard). I would just like to know if there is a big difference between the 2002 model and 2003 model? I have found a 2002 model for sale but I need to know if the 2003 model is worth the extra cash. I would also like to know if FOX accessories are any good? They are quite well priced here as well.

Thanks
